SV70ED Rings

Does anybody have a suggestion for fixed/rigid 84mm rings for SV70ED something like AP, WO or parallax type? I would rather avoid the adjustable type. I have had better luck with flexure with fixed rings.

Thanks,
Kevin

I contacted Vic at Stellarvue shortly after getting my SV70 and was told there were no rings currently available that would fit it.....not even aftermarket. I bought it with using it for guiding in mind but have a real aversion to the 3-point style myself..... After hearing back from Vic I was not real happy......The only saving grace for the SV70 was the fact that it surprised me how much I liked it for visual...... Ended up using my STV with its E-finder for my guiding and have been quite happy with it......
