There was a recent comment on one of the threads that kind of dissed the accuracy of European double rifles.

I personally have not found that to be an issue, as they tend to be very accurate.

A proof/regulation/test target from a Heym 88 double in 9.3 x 74 at 100 meters shooting factory Norma Oryx 286 grain ammunition:



That target was shot with factoryammo. In other words, that is the worst it will shoot before handload tweaking.

I have seen several different European doubles shot, and shot a few of them myself.
In calibres from 9,3x74R up through 500 Nitro, in brands like Blaser, Chapuis, Merkel, Krieghoff, Heym, accuracy was not ever an issue with any of them.
