If it's elevation you are running out of, you get 20MOA base or rings with the 20MOA built in.
What kind of rings?
Pic rail or one piece mounts?
Windage screw?

Which adjustment and in what direction? How far off are you at 100? What cartridge and what is the maximum range you intend to shoot? What rifle? The answer may be as simple as shiming the rear base.

This is a gun that i worked on for a friend. Its an older remington semi auto 243. Its a weaver style rail now with flathead screws. I dont know much more then that right now. It looked like it may have been 0 moa. It has new leupold medium rings. There's not enough elevation.
You shim the rear, bed the rear with JB weld and make the bedding thinner up front and thicker at the rear, or you can get Burris signature rings with the various thickness inserts to give it some downward cant.

It would be important to know how much more elevation you need. The simplest solution may be to buy Burris Signature rings with the Posi-align insert. Using two sets of 20 inserts you can get close to 40 MOA of adjustment.

This has all been so helpful already, i think i might go buy a new rail just to keep things simple

Tell him to separate the gun (incl scope) into a couple dumpsters and be done with that mess.
