Remi mounting options

I have just purchased a nice new sightron to sit on my remi 22.250 . The rifle I bought second hand and came scoped etc and it was my first remi . So I was in need of a new mounting system as the burris rings and mounts were inch and won't fit the new scope . No one I shoot with has Remis either so I went ahead and bought a second hand pictanny style alloy rail and some leupold qrw high rings now I'm not 100% sure if the rail is a 20moa rail as it seems high deepest part is 12.5 mill or half Inch in my builders terms . So I get it all mounted after some difficulty as the rail came with no mounting screws and to me the scope is sitting far to high even with me messing about with cheek piece etc so I'm really after advice as to what is the best option for a no nonsense mounting system to get me going and won't need changing I like the idea of the qrw rings and have read/ watched good reviews of them as for the rail until I know if its a flat or 10/20 Moa railI'm not sure if I'm looking at chancing the rail or getting lower rings or I'm better off just starting again so your advice would be greatly appreciated ps I'm a tight Northern get so I'm looking at buying secondhand if possible thanks in advance swatty excuse the grammar northerner who was more interested in shooting than education
 
You shouldn't need to change the rail. Most scopes can cope with a 20MOA canted rail and still zero at 100yds. You're better off finding out what the vertical travel is of your scope and looking at how much wiggle room this gives you for a canted rail.

I've got 20MOA rails on both my Remmy 700's and use Warne scope rings.
 
Its not so much I'm worried about the rail it's just the height and the fact to get in the right position to be relaxed I'm having to lift the profile of the stock two inches with foam and a cheek piece if I can get the scope mounted lower then I've not as much need to raise the stock
 
I've dismantled everything and called it a bad job plus I've only just worked out how to email pictures

But it sounds like the problem is you bought high rings, how much clearance was there between the front of the scope and the barrel? Would medium or even low mounts give enough clearance? And allow you to cycle the bolt?

I use Leupold double dovetail bases on my two Remmies coupled with Signature rings.

I've over half a inch between barrel and objective lens So loads of space I rekon I could get away with low rings but no entirely sure

This is a setup I had on my Remington SA. It's an EGW base with 0 MOA incline and Burris 1/4 inch (low) rings. The scope had a 56 mm objective and still had clearance. The main issue I find (as already stated above) is ensuring I have sufficient bolt clearance.

Hope this helps, please come back to me with any questions. I know there are better/pricier mount options out there. The stock on my rifle has quite a high comb and you can see it in my Gallery.
