How do you like the Talons??? I'm interested


Talons and Vipers are very much the same in glass quality and quite good for the money. The Talons are double bridge and the Vipers single bridge. The ergo advantage goes to Vipers for most things, but they cost another hundred.

When comparing them side by side most preferred the Vipers, but not all. Vipers are entry level non-Chinese while the Talons are the top end Chinese-made models.

Neither blows the other out of the water.
