Re: Accuracy of Double Rifles?

I was expecting much better accuracy from my Searcy, especially after all I've heard and read. Just bought a used .470 PH Searcy that I am told was built about three years ago. Just shot it today for the first time. At 25 yds. the right barrel is dead on, but the left is 4-5" right. No 50 yd. to shoot from at this range. At 100 yds. the right barrel again is dead on and the left is not even close to on paper. Holding 6-8" left of target produces a hit that is just on the right edge of a 16" target. Was going to take this gun to Africa soon, but am not very confident in this gun now. Can this be easily remedied or is this gun a wreck looking for a place to happen? May be forced to take my .416 bolt action Dakota instead if this can't be fixed in a reasonable amount of time?
