Ring height for NXS 5.5-22X56?

[Rotaxpower]

We'll I finally got my NXS ordered and in the mail! Only been wanting for one for 5 years now! With budget issues, and not spending more than $500 on a scope it was a big investment! Anywho I need a set of rings for it, but don't know what height to get, and with this scope in the mail I can't measure it. The scope is going on a Badger Ordnance 20moa rail on top of my Remington 700 police. I have read some say medium rings, and others high rings. Which ones would fit? I also think I am going with badger rings, is there another make I should look at? Thanks all!

Believe it or not, these TPS rings in the pic are 'lows'. It's a 5.5-22x56, with zero MOA rail and heavy barrel... it clears the bell by about 1/8" or less. But the 700P barrel is slightly smaller diameter, so the 20MOA base should work with TPS lows.
All this said, TPS lows are like most other makers mediums.

Here's a pic of my 700VS with 20MOA base with a 5.5-22x50 on MED Nightforce rings. Lots of room.

Nightforce Ultralites, medium 1.00", are on both of these rifles. Each rifle has NF 20MOA rails and Rem Varmint/Sendero contour barrels. Same contour as your Rem 700P. The scopes are both NXS 5.5-22x56mm.
