Hi!

I made this predominantly to preserve balance on my scope, as tape is ugly and I'm lazy. It would I assume also act as a failsafe incase somehow your saddle became loose, although I wouldn't recommend testing it with your sweet scope.

 

I've modelled 2 versions, on “plain” version for a standard vixe  dovetail, and a second “slotted” version for the fancier slotted dovetails.

 

Printed in PETG with 50% infill and 3 perimeters, because it's only small and I wanted it to be fairly solid. You'll need:

 

2x M4 heat inserts

2x M4 screws / thumb screws

 

I'm honestly surprised something like this isn't included with all scopes.
