Check your warranty, check with a consumer watch dog what fit for use means in this context, contact Andrews see what they will do.
Now if you get no joy from a retailer and Trade Practices demands "fit for use" under sections 52 and 54, you might be able to claim relief under these protection. Even more so if you purchased the scope using a credit card; then you have 90 - 120 days to repudiate a payment for any of the following reasons - you didn't order these goods, the goods weren't delivered, the goods were not of the kind or quality specificed, the goods are not fit for sale under Australian law. Then its between your credit card provider and the merchant to sort things out.
That is a final and strong protect all users of the Australian payments system should be aware of. Even if the scope says "not for outdoor use" section 52 can unwind unreasonable caveats to a suppliers warranty.
Good luck, let us know how the merchant addresses your concern.
