When you hear Falkor, it’s difficult to envision anything other than ultra-cool gas guns and an ultra-cool vibe. Well, it’s time to shed that image and think of high-order precision and actions that will make you sing, because the Falkor action is one of the finest you can buy, and all evaluators agreed.
There is some magic tucked away in the 7even action. It feels like every input is assisted and pneumatic, like it’s almost doing everything for you. It has two lugs and 90 degrees of throw. Extraction is excellent with ejection that is worry free. I think it’s fair to say we’d put the action against any other manufacturer out there.

The chassis, unfortunately, isn’t as good as the action. It’s not that the chassis is bad, it’s more eclipsed by the action. The forend has plenty of space to attach goodies, thanks to M-Lok comparability. But the fun ends where the forend and action meet, as you can’t put a long Arca rail on. The skeletonized pistol grip is nice looking but out of place in an otherwise serious precision package. That said, it’s comfortable at the buttstock, even if the bottom is too thin, causing it to sink really low into the game changer bag we like to use for shooting groups. It does have a little monopod, although we didn’t use it.
The Dracos barrel was a hammer and got better as rounds were put through it. It’s a sub-half-MOA gun, with two of us shooting under this default standard. The barrel heated up slowly and cooled quickly. All in all, we felt that the Falkor was super solid and the good parts eclipsed things we didn’t love as much.
