For sure a single action. A ruger or

One of Gary’s frames. As for accuracy I see no advantage in a double action when it comes to a large bore revolver. The single action with a fixed cylinder is less complex than a swing out cylinder. Both can be made well or poorly, but say a more complex design is better makes no sense to me. Now I am not trying to put words in anyone’s mouth just trying to make sense of the argument. The most accurate revolver I ever owned was a long colt hunter Gary built me in 2000. I on several occasions shot 5” 5 shot groups at 200 yards off a rest at a gun club range. 325 gr LBT over A warm charge of H110. I think the gun was capable of better accuracy than I was. I was using a 2x Leupold and the cross hairs more than covered up the 8” black center target I was shooting. Had to go a Hail Mary with the cross hairs to find the center of the bull. Anyway for accuracy on a big bore a single action is the way I would go. My 686 and GP 100’s are very accurate too but not big bore guns. $.02
