Questions & Answers
what is the distance from the rear of the scope eyepiece to the beginning of the bell? Expert Answer

I would recommend reaching out to Vortex directly as they do not provide that information.

Does this package come with a rail and mounting rings? If so, what brand are they? Expert Answer

Both MPN:DBK-01-BDC-KIT1 and MPN:DBK-M-01P-KIT1 will include medium height picatinny/weaver scope rings that are also made by Vortex.
