Thread: Running out of elevation adjustment - advice

a simple test to see if the scope is bent...is to turn it 90 degrees in the rings.....seen it before the body of scope is bent ...have you tried boresighting it??? would be interesting as to what that tells you... even placed in black n decker workmate and looking length of your section will tell you if scope is pointing when hole in barrel is or not....... a massive pressure point issue is the only other thing I can think of causing issue.

What are the numbers on the bases? Should be (I think) 36 rear and 35 front for weaver bases

its 36 forsure..the other one maynot be 35??? cant quite see it even blowing up photo

cant read the numbers on the bases , are they 36 and 35 ? and are they genuine weavers or chinese knockoffs?

either a rail or something like the Burris rings with the Pos-Align inserts.
They allow you to have from 0 to 40MOA of vertical adjustmet in about 8 steps

Different screws? They don't look like a matching pair to me?
A search of the internet doesn't come up with anyone else having this problem with a Franchi Horizon.

Not bottoming out on the zero stop? I’m not familiar with the scope at all just an idea

Is it my eyes or do the bases look different in their dovetail.
Not a matching pair

The rear base is a number 36 (0.2in) and the front base is a number 46 (0.3in) so seems like I need to replace the front one with a 35 (0.4in)?
@Makros has said the Franchi is higher in the front of the action so wouldn't I need to have a thicker (higher) base at the rear to solve the problem? The bases aren't a matching set either so I'll have to sort that out.

The rifle was set up for a mate a long time ago at gun city and never got used so looks like the problem is heading towards the bases

yes

It wont cost much. Just go and get a new set of bases and locktite them on.

Isn't a 46 a Mauser base? That might be the issue...

You are unlikely to get a single mount. Buy a new set and get on with life. Cost about $50.

Yeah I'll replace them as a set mate, just checking I get the correct ones cheers for the info

You can get singles.
