I am a bit of the same mind about a true double rifle being a SXS, but the o/u's have one great advantage. One can "regulate" them by changing the front or rear sight height. YOU WON'T get away with that in a SXS.

Interesting.

Yes, if you alter the sight heights on any double you are indeed doing one form of "regulating".
But you are merely "regulating" the SIGHTS.
This is not to be confused with regulating the BARRELS which is a totally different ball game.

If an O/U rifle is shooting its groups apart or crossed, and you change the front or rear sight height, the groups will still shoot apart or crossed!
They will impact at a different place on the target, but if the O/U is not shooting its groups together, no amount of front/rear sight alteration will bring them together.
