The Weatherby Vanguard Talon rifle in 6.5 PRC with a Tungsten Cerakote barrel and Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock (brand part no. VTE65PPR6B) cuts over a full pound of weight from a standard Vanguard for backcountry hunters who count every ounce. Weatherby cold hammer-forges the 26-inch barrel and threads it for the included Accubrake ST, and a 3+1 capacity feeds from a hinged floorplate magazine. The 19-ounce Blacktooth stock is among the lightest production stocks on the market, and Peak 44’s 3DHEX recoil pad manages recoil even with magnum cartridges. An adjustable match-quality two-stage trigger and a fluted, one-piece machined bolt round out the build, and every Vanguard is guaranteed to shoot sub-MOA with premium ammunition. Among ultra-lightweight bolt action rifles, this Vanguard Talon configuration favors backcountry hunters who need to shed weight without giving up magnum performance.
