Accurizing Your Rifle: Learn The HART Method Precision Shooting
Welcome to this in-depth tutorial on how to improve the accuracy of your rifle using the HART method! In this video, we'll walk you through the essential steps to enhance your firearm's performance, giving you better accuracy and consistency without the need for costly upgrades like a new scope, barrel, or stock. Whether you're a seasoned shooter or a beginner, this guide is packed with valuable tips and practical advice to help you hit your target every time.
In this detailed video, we break down the entire HART method for accurizing your rifle. Here's a glimpse of what we'll cover:
Disassembling and Evaluating Your Rifle:
The first crucial step is to bring your rifle in for a full teardown and evaluation. Did you know that 90% of accuracy issues stem from over-oiling? Over-oiling can slow down spring tension, affect your load time, and even cause misfires. We'll show you how to identify and fix these common problems.
Lapping the Lugs:
Proper lug lapping is essential for ensuring that your rifle's bolt locks evenly into the action. This step minimizes torque and stress on the rifle, leading to improved accuracy and reduced misalignment with the chamber. We'll explain how this process can give you a smoother, more consistent shot.
Crown Touch-Up & Trigger Adjustment:
We'll guide you through touching up the crown and adjusting the trigger to a clean three-and-a-half-pound pull, which we recommend for better target acquisition. A properly adjusted trigger allows for a smoother, more precise shot, enhancing your overall shooting experience.
Barrel Lapping:
If you've noticed a decline in your rifle's performance, it might be due to pitting or rust in the barrel, or copper buildup in the throat area. We'll cover how lapping your barrel can restore its original performance, ensuring better bullet flight and accuracy.
Scope Ring Lapping:
To prevent stress on your scope and maintain a stress-free environment, lapping your scope rings is a must. We'll show you how this step ensures that your scope remains perfectly aligned with the bore axis, reducing any potential for inaccuracy.
Bedding and Free-Floating the Barrel:
Bedding the rifle correctly is key to stabilizing the action area and barrel to the stock. We'll explain how free-floating the barrel, combined with proper bedding, allows for natural barrel harmonics, reducing barrel vibration and maintaining consistent point of impact with each shot.
App Installation & Bore Sighting:
Finally, we'll demonstrate how to install apps and bore sight your rifle to fine-tune your accuracy, ensuring that your rifle is fully optimized for your next trip to the range.

So very true. I took my old Remington 30 Express to Bobby and when I received it back, the gun went from a four inch group at 100 yards to a cloverleaf at 100 yds. It's amazing what having the accuracy package done does to your rifle. Thank you guys.

Wow, $344?!
Think this is the first video I've seen where someone mentions the price. That is not bad at all when you factor in these guys know what they're doing, have hundreds of thousands of hours of experience, and you get multiple results. Awesome!
They are so good, they bed the action and float the barrel while you wait…..now that’s service! 🙄

What else are you supposed to do besides wait?
@michael enochs
Yeah but I bet if you just spent that $344 on a better gun in the first place you wouldn't need to spend the money on a Smith to make it better
@@gypsyfreedom9836 perhaps. But what would you get if you took said better gun to him? An even better gun. At some point there will be diminishing returns and to fully optimize the firearm, you’d have to get an aftermarket barrel
Hart rifles are fantastic. I have 2 and I am nothing but satisfied.
Bobby built me a 300 RUM several years ago
Hart barrels are Apex Predators. Top of the line . I had a Hart .308 Winchester on a Mauser 98 action and if I tried to miss the bullseye I couldn't . One ragged hole at 100 yd. 155 grn Hornady shot a 110 lb. Deer at 200 yd . Shot for the heart . My brother cleaned it and swore he couldn't find the heart . My next Barrel swaps will be Hart . I have one build with a Dan Lilja barrel. When I bought it I didn't know all of his barrels are button he no longer uses broach , says it takes more time and isn't any better . I have had some Remington Barrels that were good , but not a match for Hart !
Thanks for the feedback
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth; best advice ever.
A guy who sells barrels saying "yeah you prolly don't need a barrel"? Nice.
wish you guys were closer. would drop off mine in a heartbeat
Federal Express or UPS insured signature required . Works for me .
Boy you guys are awesome
I'd like to get some info on that quick-drying bedding compound, which would allow a customer to wait while it sets.......
They must wait overnight. Bring your pillow and sleeping bag.
Never, ever, ever let a customer observe you working on thier job , or any job for that matter
Nice 👍
I just installed sights on an AR and found that when I bore sight it the rear sight has to be moved to about 2/3 of maximum to the left. Though that does leave some room for more adjustment I'm concerned that I may need to have the chamber lapped. That being said, I have two questions. First, is that worth worrying about and second, what might I be looking at to have that done? I don't think the issue is with the rail as it appears to be perfectly lined up horizontally, and the barrel at the muzzle end is perfectly centered. I don't think the issue is with the sights as when I fold down the rear sight I can see that the peep hole sets about 1/8" off to the left of the center of the upper receiver. To the eye, where the picatinny of the rail meets up with the picatinny of the upper receiver appears to be properly aligned as the gap between the two just allows for a sheet of paper to snugly slide between the two on both the right and left side. I also considered the possibility of the bore sight being off but it can only be off slightly as the bore diameter is only .22 caliber, which if divided by two could possibly account for a 1/8" misalignment. I suppose I can mount another front sight to see if the issue is still there but at the time I don't have any spare front sights.
Nice work.
Interesting-“You bring the gun in we’ll do it while you wait”. How do you bed a stock/barrel while a customer waits?
My thoughts exactly
🤣
Well said!
Must be bedding it with five minute JB weld
They wait 48 hours lol
Marine Tex . I used on a cuddy cabin cruiser metal hull . 2 hours . I put some on a spare steel plate and 2 hours I was pulling worms with a twist drill bit .
nice vid bois
If you lap the lugs on an existing action thats been used, does it change the head space to where you have to take the barrel an action apart to reset correct headspace ?
In speaking directly with Bobby Hart about this, the change in go and no go gauge is just 4 thousands of an inch. Therefore you do not have to correct headspace when the lugs are lapped.
Aside from “touching up” the crown, anyone can do all of these operations in their garage. This stuff is all cheap and pretty easy to do.
Yes you can do most of it but the tools will run you over $300 alone and you have to have the know how. I just purchased all of the proper tools to complete this type of work and it was well over $300.
@@jessehart4476 At least now you never have to buy them again.
What can be done with a semi-auto rifle?
Great question Lance, you might want to give Bobby a call and see what he can do for you. Their number is 570-752-3655
Throw it in the garbage. All we need is flint lock muskets and blunderbusses!
That is an absolute bargain.
All well worth doing.
Here's a fact. 99% of shooters cannot shoot as well a factory rifle can perform without human input.
I agree with this, with a BUT... Say you buy a new car, and the emergency brake is on. Brand new design, whatever, no one anywhere knows this is even a problem. You drive it for 6 months, 8 months, whatever. Then you take it to get routine maintenance and they're like, "Hey buddy, did you know your emergency brake is on?" It's been LOCKED ON the entire time you've owned the car. They fix it, and you're like WOW, this car is COMPLETELY different now! Yes, most people will not be able to outshoot their rifle. But there are some things that can be done to the rifle that will help make you a better shooter. It's not the shooter's fault he can't hit the target when his barrel is BENT, see what I mean? (Although I do agree with you.👍)
How do you lap lugs without messing up headspace?
It would take a lot of work to change headspace by lapping lugs to a meaningful amount, unless the bolt lugs are really really bad. Typically you would do it before headspace is set but you can touch them up after the fact. Actions today are made a lot better than old and require very little lapping. I did a mauser 98 last year that ended up having .004 taken off just the top lug before anything started to show on the bottom, vs a New savage action that didn't even need it done at all. That's a really good question tho. Whenever I do lugs on a finished rifle I check headspace periodically if I'm taking off a good amount of metal. I have some thin Mylar tape that is about .001 thick and I stick it on the back of the go gage till it just barely closes as a reference.
depends on how much the lugs are out...if headspace only changes .0005" to .001" that amount is negligible compared to many factory guns whose headpsace can be as much as .006"
After lapping lugs if you reload your brass....just bump the shoulder back .001" when FL resizing.
If you use good quality rings and not some leupold crap, lapping the rings is totally unnecessary. But every other point, I can agree with. Though I shoot only with a 2lbs/900 gram trigger. I will not go heavier, nor really lighter.
@Travis Thacker Yes, but there is also no reason why not to use a sub minute gun with todays technology. I use my moose hunting rifle for prs and bird hunting. Shooting should never come down to your gear failing or not trusting your gear. Many people buy crap optics that dont track, do their drop data the right way but end up missing because the scope doesnt work like its supposed to and end up questioning if they did something wrong even though they did everything right. A rifle is a tool, why would you buy something that doesnt work properly or breaks constantly? If you have shit gear, you dont know if you are doing your fundamentals properly because your gear doesnt work properly. Same thing with accuracy: if you have a 3 minute gun and you are new to shooting, you have no way of knowing if you are actually shooting it properly or not and you wont be able to build the fundamentals of marksmanship or your confidence in the ability of shooting a rifle.
The same way with a truck. would you buy a truck that costs 1 grand and works like crap or would you buy a 10 grand truck that actually works like it is supposed to and you can rely and trust it that it wont fail on you when you need it the most.
No mention of squaring the bolt face, squaring the action face, squaring the lug to the action and barrel. Recutting the threads to ensure that the barrel and action are square up. Lapping won't help a COMPLETELY neglected barrel that is rusted and pitted inside. Also, some factory barrels are so terribly made that no amount of lapping is going to help it. Some factory barrels are just overloaded with damage and tool marks from the manufacture, but you'll never know until you get it home and check it with a borescope.
"Lap your bolt lugs"...wouldn't that increase headspace? I wait for his reply...
Hey is Bobby's response....Head spaces is 4 thousands at the most you may take off a 1/2 or 3/4 of 1 thousands just to get the lugs lapped typically one log will mate and the other lug may just take a little bit bit head spacing from a go gauge to a no go gauge is 4 thousands. Feel free to call Bobby directly at 570-441-4177
Too bad they can’t true the face of the action at the shows
