Walther RS3 Pro Pine .308Win LL58cm

Walther has fundamentally rethought hunting with a silencer and presents an innovative solution with the RS 3 Pro Pine rifle that eliminates previous disadvantages.The new RS 3 from Walther: Rifle – Short – Safe – Silent. The RS 3 Pro Pine bolt-action rifle from Walther is compact, safe, and quiet, catering to the increasing popularity of hunting with a silencer, using a revolutionary construction principle. The use of a silencer protects hearing, does not scare off game, and makes shooting more comfortable. These advantages have previously come with disadvantages that could only be inadequately compensated for in traditionally built rifles. To keep the rifle compact, the barrels were shortened, which reduced the ballistic performance of the ammunition. To retain this performance, one had to accept an unwieldy long and front-heavy rifle.

Considering this, Walther has followed new ideas with the RS 3 series. In these bolt-action rifles, everything is designed for the silencer without shortening the barrels. The system has simply been moved back, resulting in a compact and balanced rifle with the same barrel length and silencer.

The Stock
In the Pro Pine version of the RS 3 straight-pull repeater, the one-piece hole stock is made of durable synthetic material in pine green. The cheek piece and grip areas feature tactile pleasant elastomer inserts in contrasting black. At the end of the fore-end, this Pro version has a magnetic socket with a magnetic cover, which serves for the optional attachment of a bipod from Walther or another suitable shooting rest.

Due to the compact design of the rifle, the hand tension is located in the thumb hole of the buttstock. It is intuitively tensioned 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 tensioning a fluid motion.

The Walther detachable 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
Due to the unusual position of the system in the rifle, innovative solutions had to be found during construction. 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 quick follow-up shots. The chamber grip ball is optimally sized and perfectly placed. This allows for cycling while maintaining sight on the target. A re-tensioning occurs during the cycling process, so one is immediately ready to shoot again. The performance hunting trigger breaks cleanly at a resistance 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 normal-length barrels allow for a total length of compact 104 or 108 cm thanks to the described innovative construction principle. The barrel has no sights; 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.
