Accuracy is both the Indian and the arrow. I shoot with a world record holding bench rest shooter. I guarantee you if he shot my sons .30-30 Win 94 in the next match, he would finish last place.
They can be, but the OP specifically wanted to compare guns that were not bolt actions. There will always be individual examples of all action types than can outshoot other individual examples of a different type.What makes you think a bolt action can't also be a single shot. Google XP-100 and 40-X from Remington. Some of the most accurate pistols/rifles made.
So don't bite my head off here if you love single shots, but I've heard that they are inherently less accurate than a good bolt action.
Now for my wee little brain that just doesn't make sense. If all you have is a barrel and a scope mounted too it, I couldn't imagine a more accurate setup. Doesn't the inaccuracy of certain rifles come from a lack of repeatability due to parts not settling the exact same way? With a gun with so few parts and the scope affixed to the barrel, there's really nothing that could get screwed up... But what do I know. Enlighten me please.

As a rule, single shots are not as accurate as bolt actions.
Single shots are generally more accurate.

Take a look at a serious benchrest competition and count how many non-bolt actions there are.
