I've never heard of a "standard" scope mounting rail that was 20mm.

Parker Hale and other Western European countries used 3/4 inch or 19mm.
Weaver/Picatinny rails are .835 inches, or approximately 21.2mm.
Yugoslavia, Russia and other Eastern European countries used 14mm rails.

So I am a little confused as I've never heard of 20mm rails.
