Introducing the Talus, an evolution from the renowned Vanguard High Country, featuring updated cerakote finish and hand-applied sponge paint, along with a spiral-fluted barrel. This rifle retains the Weatherby Monte Carlo stock, a crisp 2-position trigger and a precise hammer-forged barrel that has made the Vanguard Action a stalwart in the industry for over 50 years. Ideal for rugged high country pursuits, the Monte Carlo stock not only mitigates recoil with its unique shape but also offers textured touch points for a secure grip and swivel studs for quick sling and accessory attachment. The spiral fluting of the barrel reduces weight and enhances cooling, while its cold hammer-forged construction ensures exceptional accuracy, backed by Weathersby's Sub-MOA guarantee. The straight-fluted bolt features a fully enclosed bolt sleeve for enhanced safety, redirecting high-pressure gases in case of a rupture or primer pierce. The Outfitter variant includes a Vanguard match-quality two-stage trigger adjustable down to 2.50 lb, with a 3-position safety for safe bolt cycling. Finished with durable cerakote and a distinctive hand-painted sponge pattern, the Talus combines rugged reliability with enhanced performance for the discerning hunter.
