I think the point made here is that at the end of the day it is all down to what you feel comfortable with, a point that has not been covered here is the fact that a bolt rifle can never be as well balanced as a double (side by side that is) and also that for a given barrel length a double is 6" shorter and quick to handle than a clumsy bolt rifle, given the better balance it follows that when under duress a shooter would stand more chance of hitting the target with a double, this is ,of course, ignoring the fact that most shooters that use a bolt gun seem to also favour a telescopic sight, BUT, I have seen video's where an inexperienced shooter using a double for the first time? has pulled the front trigger again! Not the best thing to do if you want to survive! It is all down to what you are familiar with. I have never heard of a charge that started from more than 25 Yds away, so that does away with the perceived advantage of more than two shots. Having a magazine full of rounds (4or5) also tends to make a jumpy shooter open up at a more doubtful shot as well, but that is also due to the cost of a 21 day safari and the need to take a trophy home.
