I have a Magnum Research 22 WMR and thinking about removing (cutting) the integral mounting rail. I hate the way the scope sits so high on the rail. By removing the integral mounting rail the scope would sit about 3/8" lower. Anyone go this route? ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/9KaQ3g3.jpg)

If you cut or grind the factory rail off, how are you going to mount the scope? Drill and tap the action?

I put a Pentax p223 on mind and it sits pretty good on it. I think I'd put a stock pad on before grinding the rail.

My Magnum Lite 22 WMR wears a trim little Leupold 3-9x33 that seems like a perfect fit. I agree on the stock pad if needed.

Funny, I had everything ready to begin surgery but when it came time to cut I had a last minute change of heart and decided against the procedure. I have no doubt it would have been a success and worked out fine but just did not want to alter the original design especially since I have been thinking of selling. It shot just fine with the Leupold 3-9x33 (w/CDS) but nevertheless disliked the look.
Will likely be sending to the classifieds in the near future.

These are fantastic shooters as is. I wouldn't alter anything. Mine wears a Bushnell crossbow scope.

Changed my mind AGAIN on selling this one. Its been a love/hate relationship for a few years now so better just accept the fact that is stays with the others. BTW, back at the smith AGAIN to polish the chamber this go-around.
