20 MOA rail, 50mm objective, 30mm tube.
Can I use low rings, or need mediums or highs?
What brand?

depends on the brand your optical axis might fit w mediums - weaver/pic bases raise the plane so the traditional stand point of high w a 50mm could be wrong - scope tube length would be another factor to ring height etc etc

You might be Ok. But sometimes kicking the rear skyward makes the objective touch the barrel. Scope length plays a part here And different manufacturers have different measurements for low, medium, and high.
I hope I'm wrong too.

I have some Burris Signature Z lows that I bought a while back. When scope gets here I'll mock it up with those and see how much higher I need to go then order some rings. Hopefully can find just the right height to put the objective just off the barrel...

I used Burris Tact rings, Medium, on my Ziess with a 50MM Bell on a EGW 20MOA Base and just used the same on my 34MM tube Bushnell elite on a EGW 20Moa and it clears too.
HHUUMMMM, what to write, what to write, I got nothing.

I think this is something a lot of people don't consider when buying rings, I know where I place my cheek every time and that requires the lowest rings I can get, but other don't like that feeling or prefer a different shooting style so taller rings work better for them. My wife can't shoot some of my guns because she is uncomfortable when trying to get lined up with the scope

PS... Is that a Savage 10? If so could you thread your scope tube to the scope and take a picture for clearance please?

It's a model 12, basically the same as a 10, but I don't understand your question. By "thread your scope tube" do you mean thread in the sunshade?
