Weatherby Vanguard Talon 257 Weatherby Magnum Tungsten Cerakote Blacktooth Carbon Fiber Bolt Action Rifle - 24in

Weatherby Vanguard Talon 257 Weatherby Magnum Tungsten Cerakote Blacktooth Carbon Fiber Bolt Action Rifle - 24in - Built for hunters who count every ounce when the miles start adding up, the Vanguard Talon brings the lightweight performance of the Backcountry 2.0 family to the Vanguard lineup. At its core is Peak 44’s Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, weighing just 19oz and ranking among the lightest production stocks available. The result is a Vanguard that sheds more than a pound compared to other models in the lineup, starting at just 6.2lbs.

Paired with an Accubrake and 3D Hex Recoil Pad, the Talon delivers impressive recoil control—even when chambered in Weatherby’s legendary magnum cartridges. It’s built for the hunter who’s willing to go deep into the backcountry, where every ounce matters and when the opportunity comes, the shot has to count.

At the heart of the Vanguard is a cold hammer-forged barrel, engineered for accuracy, consistency, and long-term reliability. Every Vanguard is guaranteed to deliver a 3-shot group of .99in or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel when using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition, providing dependable SUB-MOA performance right out of the box.

The Talon is equipped with a 3-position safety, two-stage match-grade trigger, and fluted bolt body. Like every Vanguard, it features a one-piece machined bolt body, fully enclosed bolt sleeve, integral recoil lug, and hinged floorplate. The result is a lightweight, backcountry-ready rifle that combines rugged construction, precision performance, and the confidence to make the most of every opportunity in the field.
