If this does not do it, you have the right to return the scope (it's not fit for purpose), or better ask the shop to find a solution (which should come at no extra cost to you, unless there is something unusual about your camera ...).

If you got the scope at Bintel I'm sure they'd be happy to do the right thing and sort you out. (Based on my experience with their now closed Melbourne branch.)
I've got a 2" T-Adapter on the way, I'll give that a try and then if not I'll do exactly this.

Thanks for the reply
