The Weatherby Vanguard Talon .308 Winchester delivers precision accuracy in a robust bolt-action platform engineered for demanding hunting and tactical applications. This rifle combines Weatherby's legendary craftsmanship with modern enhancements that elevate performance beyond standard hunting rifles.
What Makes This Different
The Vanguard Talon features a cold hammer-forged barrel that maintains consistent accuracy across temperature variations and extended shooting sessions. Unlike standard hunting rifles with basic triggers, the Talon incorporates an adjustable trigger system that breaks cleanly at 3.5-5 pounds. The ergonomic stock design provides superior cheek weld and length of pull adjustment for optimal scope alignment and shooting comfort.
Key Features
- Cold hammer-forged 22" barrel with 1:10 twist rate for optimal .308 Winchester performance
- Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee with premium ammunition
- Adjustable trigger system with 3.5-5 pound pull weight range
- Synthetic stock with textured grip surfaces and adjustable length of pull

Field performance centers on the rifle's ability to maintain accuracy across varying conditions while cycling smoothly under stress. The .308 Winchester chambering provides effective range to 800 yards for precision shooting and delivers sufficient energy for medium to large game hunting. Weather-resistant finishes protect critical components from moisture and corrosion during extended outdoor use.
