Weatherby Vanguard Talon | 6.5 Creedmoor | 1/2×28

The Weatherby Vanguard Talon is a lightweight bolt-action rifle built to deliver field-ready precision and reduced carry weight. It pairs a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock with Weatherby features such as a cold hammer-forged barrel, Accubrake ST muzzle brake, and a match-quality two-stage trigger. The rifle is available in multiple configurations and is intended for shooters who need a light, accurate rifle for long approaches and precision field work.
