Description
This mount set takes the guesswork out of putting a scope on your Weatherby Vanguard. Instead of a separate base and ring that have to line up just right, Talley machines each piece as a single unit of 7000 Series billet alloy, so the ring and base are one continuous part. That means there's no joint between the two to work loose or sit out of alignment, and you get the rigidity of a one-piece design with far less weight than old-school steel setups. These are sold as a pair for 1-inch scope tubes in a low height, finished in matte black anodizing.
Why the Talley One-Piece Design Works
The whole appeal here is simplicity and strength. Because the rings are CNC machined to tight tolerances, they don't require lapping before you mount your optic, so they're ready to go straight out of the box. The low height keeps your scope tucked close to the bore, which is a nice fit for smaller objective lenses and gives you a clean cheek weld. Hunters and target folks who've run Talley mounts for years tend to come back to them for the same reasons: they hold zero, they look sharp on the rifle, and they just work.
Fitment for Your Vanguard
These drop onto the existing screw holes on Weatherby Vanguard actions, including magnum and standard caliber Vanguard rifles. Since the Vanguard shares its action footprint with the Howa 1500, the same pattern applies there as well. Installation uses 6-48 screws and a T-15 wrench, both of which come in the package. Torque them down to spec and your scope sits tight.
A Lighter Mount That Holds Tight
At roughly 2.2 ounces per set, this is about as light as a solid mount gets, which matters if you're building out a backcountry or mountain rifle where every ounce counts. The rear ring measures .521" and the front measures .400" in height, keeping the profile low and tidy. For a Vanguard owner who wants a dependable, no-fuss way to mount a 1-inch scope, this Talley-built set is a proven choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this scope mount fit my Weatherby Vanguard?
Yes, this set is made specifically for Weatherby Vanguard actions and uses the factory screw holes, covering both magnum and standard caliber Vanguard rifles. Because the Vanguard and Howa 1500 share the same action pattern, it fits those as well. It does not fit the Mark V standard caliber rifles.
Do I need to lap these Talley rings before mounting my scope?
No. The rings are CNC machined to tight tolerances as a one-piece unit, so they're designed to go on without lapping. Plenty of Vanguard owners report their scope tube spins freely with no lapping needed. Just torque the screws to spec and you're set.
What size scope tube does this mount hold?
This set is built for 1-inch scope tubes. If you're running a 30mm tube, you'll want the matching 30mm version instead. It's offered in a low height here, which keeps the scope sitting close to the bore.
What tools and hardware come with the mount?
The set includes the 6-48 mounting screws and a T-15 wrench, so you have what you need to get it onto the rifle. You'll want a torque wrench to bring the screws to the recommended spec for a secure hold. The rings themselves are sold as a complete pair.
