Go to a tire store and ask if you can buy some stick on weights for aluminum wheels. the weights usually come in strips with lines molded into them so that they can be cut to a specific size for a specific weight. This would be a permanent solution, I am not sure if you are looking for something that is easily removable.
I don't know if they make a product for this porpouse, but if so maybe someone else has seen it?

Check here..., they have a good selection of weight balance kits...

I also use a metal dew shield, which helps a lot when you have a back-heavy scope... 8)
