Does anyone have any information on the Miller rifle that Dakota Arms will be selling?

They are the same Millers that Miller made before they merged. They have joined with Dakota Arms, Little Sharps and Nesika Bay. From what I saw at the NRA convention the quality is just as good when they were out on their own.

40 Rod,
I have not been able to find any reviews on Miller Rifles. I believe they were first designed by Milton Farrow in 1890. Do you know if it shoot well?

The Dehaas--Miller was designed by Frank Dehaas sometime in the 70's. If benchrest is your only interest, the Dehaas-Miller is probably the best rifle to buy, not because its more accurate but its eaisier to shoot. Its a stricker-action with a good single trigger. The Dehaas-Miller is also the most expensive [new] schuetzen rifle --well over $4000 big ones with a scope and loading tools.
Personally I would rather have 2 CPA Stevens rifles for the same money. leadball

OK I get it now you are talking about the Miller F action not the Miller. The original. Miller action is as Leadball described.
The F action is Millers version of the Farrow action. I did handle one of these actions at the NRA show it locked up like a bank vault. It was tight and crisp and very smooth. How much Miller changed the original action I couldn't tell but if I had to guess it seemed a little wider than the original that I saw a few years ago.

If your interest is in a copy of the Farrow action ----
Steve Earle (maker of the Wesson action) will be making an exact duplicate in the future . The only difference is that the action will be about 15% oversized from the original spec's. This change will allow a 45-90 to be accomidated. The workmanship will be much higher and the price will be somewhat lower. I have the highest regards for Steves work as all who have seen it will testify. Ken

Rod 40,
Thank you for the info. I just got a copy of Single Shot rifles by James J. Grant. He shows a picture of Farrows rifle with double set triggers. One is pointer forward and one is pointed aft. It looks exactly like the Dakota rifle. Is that a Miller F action?

That IS a partial copy of the original Farrow action BUT, it's not a 100% copy. Ken
