Das Jagdmagazin mit Weitblick

When a company like Carl Walther—long associated primarily with handguns and competition rifles—returns to the hunting rifle market with a clean-sheet design, it deserves a closer look. At Jagd & Hund 2026 in Dortmund, Walther will present the new RS 3 to a broad hunting audience for the first time—and it’s already clear why this rifle is likely to spark serious discussion.

Some rifles you handle. Others you connect with. The Jakele J1 belongs to the latter. Thanks to Waffen Idl, the Austrian general importer, Schuss & Stille had the chance to take this modern hunting rifle on a weekend chamois hunt high in the Alps — a true field test between rock, snow, and silence.
