Walther RS3 Heritage Sevenstar .308Win LL58cm, HK7

With the innovative RS 3 Heritage Sevenstar repeater, Walther revolutionizes hunting with a silencer.With the RS 3 Heritage Sevenstar repeating rifle, Walther is taking completely new paths regarding the use of a silencer in hunting. This is becoming increasingly popular, as it protects the hearing of hunters and their dogs, does not startle the game, and makes shooting more comfortable. These advantages previously came at a price that could only be inadequately compensated for with traditional means: either to maintain the maneuverability of the rifle with shorter barrels, which, however, impaired the ballistic performance of the ammunition, or with a barrel of equal length, which resulted in a longer, front-heavy rifle with impaired oscillation behavior.

Walther has now not further modified the RS 3 series but has taken entirely new approaches. In the short repeater, the entire concept has been tailored to the silencer without compromising on barrel length. The system has been moved to the rear to achieve a compact, balanced rifle with a silencer while maintaining the same barrel length.

The Stock
In the Heritage Sevenstar version of the RS 3 straight-pull repeater, the one-piece hole stock is made of Caucasian walnut wood of the noble class 7. The wood is treated with a satin matte finish as protection against weather influences. The cheek piece and grip areas feature pleasantly tactile elastomer inlays. The pistol grip and drop nose have ends made of black ebony.

Due to the compact design of the rifle, the manual safety is located in the thumb hole of the buttstock. It is intuitively engaged when shouldering, and the safety status of the rifle is always perceptible with the shooting hand, additionally indicated by color (red-green). This construction makes shouldering and engaging the safety a fluid motion.

The Walther box magazine is also located in the stock behind the pistol grip. It has a capacity of 6 rounds in standard calibers and 5 rounds in magnum calibers. The magazine has a lock against accidental release, consisting of 2 locking wings that must be pressed simultaneously when removing or changing it.

The System
In the construction of the system, entirely new paths were taken due to its position in the rifle. The heart of the RS 3 rifle is a 64 cm long single-frame housing. The monocoque system is machined from solid aluminum, making it absolutely precise and also lightweight. The bolt consists of a 3-lug rotating head. The center of gravity of the rifle is at the level of the trigger guard, making it perfectly balanced.

The RS 3 rifle is a straight-pull repeater, which facilitates comfortable operation with rapid follow-up shots. The chamber grip ball is optimally sized and perfectly placed. Thus, it can be cycled while maintaining sight on the target. A re-cocking occurs during the cycling process, so you are ready to shoot again immediately. The Performance hunting trigger breaks cleanly at a pull weight of 800 g. The surfaces of the system and the barrel are carbonized.

The Barrel
The length of the 17 mm barrel is 58 cm for the standard calibers .308Win and .30-06Spring, and 62 cm for the magnum version with .300WinMag. The standard-length barrels allow for a total length of compact 104 or 108 cm thanks to the described innovative construction principle. The barrel is without sights, and at its muzzle, there is a Zerolock quick coupling for mounting the silencer. On the barrel sits the base for the Walther Fixlock mount, which is available for optics with and without rails, for red dot sights, and for Picatinny rails (not included).

The Silencer
The RS 3 rifles are only delivered complete with the Walther QSA silencer. However, due to legal regulations, it is necessary to order the silencer separately. You can do this. It is made of tenifer-treated high-performance steel and has a hard-anodized aluminum tube. The attachment to the barrel is simple and precise using the Zerolock quick coupling.
