TAOSThe double rifle is as accurate as any iron sighted rifle! The key is to learn how to shoot them. The sights, with multiple leaves in them, marked for different ranges, are there for a reason. With the proper load, and bullet weight, and shape, they will shoot to those sights easily. The problem is, one has to find out how the sights, for a particular double rifle, are to be used. Some will regulate both barrels to the sights all the way out to the end of the sight range, while others are designed to be used with both barrels only at 50 yds, and 100 yds, while the longer ranges are to be used with only one barrel. That barrel will shoot to the longer ranges, but not the other barrel.

In any event, any double rifle will have one barrel that will group tighter than the other, once you find the barrel that is the most accurate, you learn where to hold with that barrel for long range, sort of like shooting long range with a Ruger No1. The one,two punch is only needed at close quarters, but at long range only one simply uses the rifle like a single shot.

I don't think you would want to stand at 300 yds hopeing I couldn't hit you with any double I own.
