Ok, so the scope rail on the m60b/zelos bothers me. It's almost pointless to be that long and shaped goofy. Only if you wanted to add a light or something i could see needing the forward part of the rail.

I'm thinking of cutting it flush to the action. I have a cantilever scope mount that I use at the rear most slots, so I'd still have a couple sections to use for a 90° rail.

What you guys think?

I'm going to be cutting down a barrel for it and keeping the length down anyhow. I think it would look better when shortened.

WTF...it's...your...gun, right ?
Do as you wish to it. NO need to ask others for their approval.
Just remember, it may be difficult or impossible to go back.

I would chop it at the angle of the butt end. It flows with the grip angle…
