Welcome to the Forum!!!!
I haven't heard of any 20 MOA rails for a 10/22,, so I'm no help.
But I have to ask,, for what purpose are you seeking one? Just curious,, as this is interesting.

DIP makes good stuff.
Here is a 25 MOA rail that allows a 300 yard zero. Currently out of stock on DIP's website.

With all due respect to the Ruger forum members, this question is likely to get more responses on Rimfire Central.

Contender, I wanted to ask the question but my presentation wasn't as good as yours.
I'm looking for a Picatinny rail specifically to swap out my weaver to push my scope a bit further down so when shooting prone my sight picture clears up
I've added a thicker section of stock which has helped but I was told I should look at a 20 MOA rail?
I'm new to the whole gun scene so maybe I need something else?
So, you're wanting to move your scope FORWARD? A '20 MOA rail' is designed to tilt your scope's axis in addition to the scope's internal adjustments allowing for a longer range zero.
If you need more eye relief just add length to the butt stock.

I have the excellent Talley 20 MOA base on my Talo 10/22 LVT...

"So, you're wanting to move your scope FORWARD?"
This was my thought when reading your comments.
We understand you being new to "gun things" and are willing to help. If you are shooting prone,, and your eye relief isn't adjusting enough to where your scope base needs to go forward some,, then a longer rail system like the 20 MOA shown above can likely do that.
But if you are wanting to get your scope "a bit further down" meaning you want it LOWER to the gun,, then that's different.

I'm using an Outerimpact rail for a longer rail on 10/22's. Solid product.

To be honest I'm not really sure what I need.
I've since added a thicker part to the stock and extended the LOP which has definitely helped the sight picture.
I've added the 20 MOA rail but had to trim/cut the front section flush with the receiver to fit a Tacsol barrel which has worked for assembly.
Went to the range yesterday and fired at 25/50/100 yards and the shots were all over the place.
I don't know its the 20 MOA base/scope issue or something else such as ammo/human error/ etc so I feel like I should find a 0 MOA pic and try again?
EGW Recomends;
0 MOA - if shooting 0-150 yards
20 MOA - if shooting 150-300 yards
FWIW the Ruger Competition 10/22 is built with an Integral, optics-ready 30 MOA Picatinny rail for increased long-range elevation capabilities.

I think something besides the height/angle of the base is giving you issues.
If you were getting a group but it was high/low/whatever, that might point to the "wrong" base.
Since your groups are all over, it sounds to me like:
-your base might be loose, or
-your scope rings might be loose, or
-your scope may be haywire, internally
SOMETHING seems to be moving around.
I'd try the following:
-clean the barrel well (it's not full of lead, is it?)
-check the base/rings to be sure they're snug
-shoot a couple mags to "season" the bore
-shoot a couple more mags, "for groups"
If you are still all over the place, I'd try
-having someone else try to shoot a group with your setup, or
-swap out your scope and try again, in case your scope has internal issues
Good luck, and keep us updated.
You can do this!

The +/- ?? MOA will not effect accuracy. It MAY prevent you from achieving a zero at closer ranges depending on your scope's internal adjustment capability.
"I've since added a thicker part to the stock and extended the LOP which has definitely helped the sight picture."
It's possible your accuracy problems are related to 'parallax' if as you stated, you're having problems with 'sight picture'. If your eye isn't correctly aligned with the scope's center, accuracy suffers.
