I haven't shot my M1903 (safe queen), but I am confident that any Mannlicher Shoenauer in good condition will return good accuracy. They were precision made and carried an excellent reputation back in the day when available. If they were hopelessly inaccurate the hunters of that day and time would not have bought them.
I do have a M-S Model MCA carbine chambered in .358 Win. (very rare). I can report that it shoots quite well without any fiddling or tinkering. They were top quality rifles.
Those of you who shun them for lack of bench-rest accuracy can please send them my way.
