Description
Getting your scope mounted right is half the battle when it comes to keeping a rifle dialed in, and this Weatherby Vanguard mount takes the guesswork out of it. Built by Talley for the Vanguard platform, it combines the ring and base into a single piece of CNC-machined 7000 series billet alloy. That means there is no separate base and ring to get out of alignment or work loose over time, which is a common headache with traditional two-piece setups. It runs a 30mm ring at medium height, with a rear height of .621 inches and a front height of .500 inches, giving most mid-size objective scopes plenty of clearance over the barrel.
Why the Weatherby Vanguard Mount Holds Zero
The one-piece design is the real story here. Because the ring and base are machined as a single unit, there is no joint between the scope and the rifle to flex or shift under recoil. That rigidity is what keeps your zero locked in through heavy magnum loads and long days at the range. The alloy construction also keeps things light at roughly 2.6 ounces for the pair, so you are not adding unnecessary weight up top on a rifle you plan to carry.
Fitment and Setup on the Vanguard
This set is cut specifically for Weatherby Vanguard rifles and fits all Vanguard Magnum and Standard caliber actions. It will not fit Mark V Standard caliber rifles, so keep that in mind if you run both. Since the Vanguard shares its action footprint with the Howa 1500, these generally work on those as well. There is no lapping required, so you can skip the extra tooling and go straight to mounting your optic.
What You Get With the Weatherby Vanguard Scope Mount
The mounts ship as a pair in a matte black anodized finish, and the set comes with 6-48 mounting screws and a T-15 wrench to get the job done. It is about as straightforward as rifle mounting gets, and the finish blends in cleanly with a factory Vanguard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Weatherby Vanguard scope mount fit my Mark V?
No, this set is designed for the Weatherby Vanguard and fits all Vanguard Magnum and Standard caliber rifles. It does not fit Mark V Standard caliber rifles. If you run a Mark V, you will want a mount cut specifically for that action.
What scope tube size does this mount accept?
This version is built for 30mm scope tubes at a medium ring height. The rear height sits at .621 inches and the front at .500 inches, which gives most mid-size objective scopes good clearance over the barrel. Double check your objective diameter if you are running a large bell.
Do I need to lap these rings before mounting my scope?
No lapping is required. Because the ring and base are machined as one piece to tight tolerances, the rings are already in alignment right out of the box. You can go straight to mounting your optic and torquing it down.
Does the Weatherby Vanguard mount come with the hardware I need?
Yes, the set ships as a pair and includes 6-48 mounting screws along with a T-15 wrench. That covers what you need to get the mounts on the receiver. You will still want a torque wrench to set everything to spec.
