Troy, from my understanding, the eyepiece end is heavier than the objective end, and you have moved the scope as far forward as possible, Yes?

If so, buy from Bintel, (or somewhere) a dovetail mount like the one shown in the link for about $49.
Attach a lead weight as suggested by Dennis, by screwing it to the underside of the mount with some countersunk self tappers. Then attach the dovetail mount, c/w lead weight, to the existing dovetail, and that will slide along the length of the scope. Fine adjustment should be pretty easy.

If I've got it all wrong, sorry, if not, then your problem should be solved, and it should look reasonably neat.
