Hi they were four shot groups at 50 yards. Two from each barrel.
Gun number 1 (SXS) and gun #2 (O&U) could be used for hunting hog just fine here in Florida. No long range shooting for sure.
I am sure with more shooting and tinkering, these guns would be just fine at longer ranges, but I didn't spend enough time with any one gun. One shouldn't take three guns to the range, and expect to regulate and zero all three prefectly. I originally had my doubts that any would hit paper at 50 yards.
My first experience with the one O&U when I first got it left me wondering if these rifles could even be used. It had an top and bottom spread of over 1 foot at 50 yards, neither of which could be brought to zero using open sights, without sending the other clean off the target.
