The Weatherby Vanguard Talon 6.5-300Wby 28" rifle with brake is built for hunters who won't compromise on power or weight. This lightweight magnum combines Weatherby's reputation for precision with modern carbon fiber engineering to create a hard-hitting backcountry rig that doesn't beat you down on the hike. Starting at just 6.2 lbs, the Talon strips over a full pound compared to standard Vanguards, making it one of the fewest-ounces-for-the-dollar propositions in its class—especially in a caliber as potent as the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum.

The carbon fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock is the heart of the weight savings and performance story. At only 19 oz, it's among the lightest production stocks available, and it's paired with Peak 44's 3DHEX recoil pad and an included Accubrake ST muzzle brake to manage the sharp recoil signature of a magnum round without requiring a heavier platform or sacrifice in accuracy. Every detail—from the tungsten Cerakote barrel and receiver to the fluted bolt body and cold hammer forged barrel—speaks to uncompromising fit and finish.

Like all Vanguards, the Talon is guaranteed to deliver sub-MOA accuracy (.99" or better three-shot groups at 100 yards from a cold barrel when fired with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition). You get a two-stage match-grade trigger, three-position safety, hinged floorplate, and a fully enclosed bolt sleeve with integral recoil lug. The 28" barrel maximizes velocity from the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum, giving you the reach and energy needed on elk and other large game at distance. This is the rifle for the serious long-range hunter who needs to move fast and shoot straight.
