The Vanguard Talon embodies Weatherby's commitment to precision, performance and quality, with the first noticeable feature being its advanced stock. The Talon is equipped with the lightweight, durable Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, which is the same high-performance stock used on the Backcountry Ti 2.0. Weighing just 19oz, this stock is one of the lightest production stocks on the market and it helps reduce overall rifle weight, with the Talon starting at only 6.2 lb, over a full pound lighter than other Vanguard models. Designed with ultra-lightweight hunters in mind, this rifle offers uncompromising strength and rigidity. Recoil management is exceptional, thanks to the Peak 44 3DHEX recoil pad and threaded Accubrake ST, ensuring that even with Weatherby's powerful magnum cartridges, you can enjoy smooth, controlled shooting. Whether you're deep in the backcountry or tackling a challenging shot, the Talon's recoil system makes sure you stay on target with minimal disruption. Vanguard Talon rifles are equipped with cold hammer-forged barrels, providing unmatched accuracy and reliability that is superior to other rifles in the same price range. To prove its performance, Weatherby guarantees that all Vanguard models shoot a 3-shot group of 0.99 inches or less at 100 yd (SUB-MOA) from a cold barrel when used with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. Further enhancing its design, the Talon includes a 3-position safety, a two-stage match-grade trigger and a fluted bolt body, ensuring smooth operation and enhanced shooting performance. The 1-piece machined bolt body and fully enclosed bolt sleeve, along with an integral recoil lug and hinged floorplate, offer durability and reliability in all conditions. The Vanguard Talon is the rifle you can rely on when you need to make that shot count, no matter how far from the truck you are.
