{"product_id":"walther-rs3-pro-chestnut","title":"Walther RS3 Pro Chestnut","description":"The Walther RS3 Pro Chestnut combines innovation with a classic look. Thanks to its bullpup design, this rifle is compact while maintaining the barrel length of a regular hunting rifle.\n\nThe bullpup design has long been used in automatic and semi-automatic firearms, among others. The advantage of this concept is that a longer barrel length is possible with a relatively short weapon, because the action and barrel are located further back. This makes a more compact whole possible, while retaining the performance of a long weapon. One of the biggest disadvantages of this design is that it means the pistol grip with the trigger is no longer directly under the action. The consequence of this is that the trigger has to be connected to the action via long parts, which usually results in relatively poor triggers.\n\nWalther has managed to remedy this problem with the RS3, giving the weapon the advantages of a bullpup, while also having a very good trigger. It has a trigger pull of 800 grams, without the long, springy trigger travel that many bullpup weapons have. This makes it light enough to provide the required precision, without being too light in stressful moments or when the shooter is wearing gloves. \n\nAnother potential disadvantage of a bullpup is that the bolt can be located in an awkward place to operate. With the Walther RS3 Pro Chestnut, this is certainly not the case: the bolt is located directly above the trigger guard, making it quick and easy to reach. Because the action has a straight-pull bolt, it is also very quick to operate, allowing a second shot to be fired as quickly as possible.\n\nThe balance of the Walther RS3 played a central role in the rifle's design. Because hunting with a silencer is becoming more common worldwide, this was taken into account in the design by equipping the RS3 with a specially designed silencer. When this silencer is attached to the barrel, the balance point is exactly between both hands, just in front of the trigger guard. A muzzle brake has also been developed, with which the rifle has exactly the same balance point. Thanks to the ideal balance, shouldering the RS3 is very natural and the rifle does not feel heavy or cumbersome in the hand, but is light and easy to control.\n\nThe way the weapon is cocked is very innovative. This is done by means of a button at the back of the pistol grip. By inserting the thumb into the thumbhole and placing it in the correct position around the pistol grip, the button can then be pushed forward. It then falls into a notch at the top, where it remains in place until it is pressed again and released. This makes it intuitive and quick to operate, even during the process of shouldering and aiming the RS3. This system also serves as a very reliable safety, because the weapon cannot be fired without cocking it.\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 12px 4px 0;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 0;\"\u003eWalther\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 12px 4px 0;\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 0;\"\u003eWalther RS3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 12px 4px 0;\"\u003eProduct Code\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 0;\"\u003e2888581_001 - .308 Win\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 12px 4px 0;\"\u003eProduct Status\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 0;\"\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 12px 4px 0;\"\u003eCaliber\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 0;\"\u003e.30-06 Springfield, .300 Winchester Magnum, .308 Winchester\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 12px 4px 0;\"\u003eSystem\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 0;\"\u003eSingle-shot bolt action\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 12px 4px 0;\"\u003eMagazine Capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 0;\"\u003e5, 6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 12px 4px 0;\"\u003eWeight (grams)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 0;\"\u003e3500 (3800 inc. silencer) - .308 Win\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 12px 4px 0;\"\u003eBarrel Length (mm\/inch)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 0;\"\u003e580\/22.8, 620\/24.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 12px 4px 0;\"\u003eTotal Length (mm)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 0;\"\u003e780 (1040 inc. silencer) - .308 Win\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 12px 4px 0;\"\u003eStock Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 0;\"\u003eSynthetic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 12px 4px 0;\"\u003eStock\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 0;\"\u003eRight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 12px 4px 0;\"\u003eMounting Rail Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 0;\"\u003eWalther Fixlock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 12px 4px 0;\"\u003eExtras\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 0;\"\u003eMagazine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Walther","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59821707329870,"sku":"C361828685","price":3470.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/0573\/8574\/files\/walther_rs3_pro_chestnut_2_f6f180ff-0675-41da-8840-aafefd7036f8.jpg?v=1780765842","url":"https:\/\/huntingxl.com\/products\/walther-rs3-pro-chestnut","provider":"huntingxl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
