The Vanguard is one of Weatherby's flagship rifles and is designed as an entry-level rifle intended for more budget-minded users while still retaining respectable performance. The Vanguard Talon models are designed with a focus on weight reduction and feature Peak 44's Blacktooth series carbon fiber stock that cuts the rifle's weight down to 6.2 pounds. The addition of a 3D Hex Recoil pad helps to offset the recoil from magnum calibers due to the rifle's lower weight. Each Vanguard comes with a sub-MOA guarantee at 100 yards and is optic ready. This model is chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor and features a tungsten and graphite Cerakote finish and a 24-inch barrel. The stock features a green and white sponge pattern. One 4-round magazine is included.
