SxS vs. O/U for distance/accuracy?

[70worm]

Will an O/U be more accurate at a longer distance do to the sights being right over top of the barrel?

open sights or scope and what are you calling longer distance?

 

[70worm]

Open sights, 75-100yards vs the typical 50.

i suspect at those distances it depends more on the individual rifle than whether it is an o/u or a sxs. meaning how well is the rifle regulated. even if the rifle is not really well regulated the one barrel can shoot very at your required distances. i.e. shooting just the left barrel, or the bottom barrel.

that said, i like my o/u but use a scope.

I'm thinking about getting a Fausti O/U in 9.3x74r.

it will serve you well out to 200 yards if you can hold it still. about 3" high at 100 is dead on at 200 yards.
