And then there are these Farpoint dovetail bars which may require drilling & tapping of holes but there is no info how long they are.
Confused. Does any Vixen type dovetail bar fit and where to find a long one?

Hi Luka
All you need to do is go to Rebel sports and buy the velcro attaching ankle weights and attach to the front end of the scope and you will not need to worry about a longer dovetail bar to balance out ,I use one with a Vixen SD81S with a Ethos 21mm and 2x powermate and balances no problem ,If you need more info pm me
