    Zouave

    I have always wondered on an original Zouave, which is more accurate, the three, five or seven barrel groove barrel. Since, I have not had a chance to experience all three, I'm asking the group their insights and experiences. I'm in the market to get an original and have had a chance to pick up a representative of each. I just want to have a good starting point. Thanks in advance.

    Not to be a smart a**, but properly loaded, and with a good barrel and tuned lock, any of them will out shoot you. Buy the one with the most life left in it and shoot the rifle.

    To a degree I agree with Greg. They will all out shoot you. Having skirmished with all three, (and one Hoyt reline) ,I prefered the five groove. The thee groove got dirty faster and well the seven was the first.
