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
