This evening I played around a bit with a quick-detach, cheap, mount for the XLR 250. Here is what I did.
A see-thorough ring was placed upside down on the scope so as to clear the 40mm lens of my Nikon scope.
Next, I used a Weaver base I had on hand. It's about 5" long, but could definitely be shorter. That's all I had at the time, but will search for a shorter one if there is one.
Then, I used another 1" ring that is a slide-on ring for the XLR 250, much like the Burris Z-rings, and slid it up to the end of the base until it touched the screw for the Pictianny mount. It is upside down on the base, but it grips good until it stops where it touches the cross screw on the ring. I tightened it down really tight and it is holding well. Not sure how it might hold up, but it seems plenty strong enough for the .243 it is mounted on. It seems plenty tight at this point, and I do belive it will hold even under the recoil of a 12 gauge.
Here is how I did it.
Until someone comes up with a better mount, this will have to do for now.
