The binary pnictide semimetals have attracted considerable attention due to their fantastic physical properties that include topological effects, negative magnetoresistance, Weyl fermions and large non-saturation magnetoresistance. In this paper, we have successfully grown the high-quality V1-deltaSb2 single crystals by Sb flux method and investigated their electronic transport properties. A large positive magnetoresistance that reaches 477% under a magnetic field of 12 T at T = 1.8 K was observed. Notably, the magnetoresistance showed a cusp-like feature at the low magnetic fields and such feature weakened gradually as the temperature increased, which indicated the presence of weak antilocalization effect (WAL). The angle-dependent magnetoconductance and the ultra-large prefactor alpha extracted from the Hikami-Larkin-Nagaoka equation revealed that the WAL effect is a 3D bulk effect originated from the three-dimensional bulk spin-orbital coupling.
