Depends on your definition of accurate, and at what range. I shoot a few Pennsylvania rifles, and they can group in a bit over an inch at 100 yards. At 500 yds, it would be a very different matter. They were considered accurate enough to hit a man at 300 yds under the right conditions. They are less accurate than modern target rifles that can hit an apple at 500 yards.
