Weatherby Vanguard Talon 270 Winchester Bolt Action Rifle
The Weatherby Vanguard Talon is a purpose-built bolt action rifle, designed for shooters who demand consistent precision and unwavering reliability in a robust platform. Chambered in the versatile 270 Winchester, this rifle integrates specific design elements to optimize long-range engagement and field utility. Each Vanguard rifle is backed by the manufacturer’s SUB-MOA guarantee, ensuring a 3-shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards with premium ammunition.
Key Features
- SUB-MOA Accuracy Guarantee: Engineered and tested to deliver sub-minute-of-angle precision, providing a tangible performance benchmark.
- Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel: The 24-inch, fluted barrel is cold hammer-forged for enhanced durability, consistent bore concentricity, and optimized accuracy over its service life. Fluting reduces weight and increases surface area for improved heat dissipation.
- Threaded Muzzle: Features a threaded muzzle (5/8″-24 TPI) to facilitate the integration of muzzle devices such as suppressors or muzzle brakes, allowing for mitigation of recoil and muzzle rise.
- Adjustable Match-Grade Trigger: Equipped with a crisp, user-adjustable two-stage trigger system, allowing for precise control and consistent shot breaks critical for accuracy.
- Synthetic Stock with Pillars: The robust, lightweight synthetic stock is designed for durability and weather resistance. Aluminum pillar bedding ensures consistent receiver-to-stock interface, mitigating flex and enhancing accuracy potential.
- Three-Position Safety: Provides an additional layer of operational security, allowing the bolt to be cycled for unloading while maintaining a safe condition.
- Matte Black Finish: Non-reflective matte finish on all metal components minimizes glare and enhances concealment in varied environments.
- Hinged Floorplate Magazine: Facilitates easy and secure loading and unloading of ammunition.
