HELP!! Can a scope get damaged by turning turrets/knobs all the way down/up?

I 've been trying to sight in my Burris 3x-9x Fullfield II on my AR180B for the last 3 days and I am having a hell of a time.

I have the scope sitting high in a set of 1" high Weaver see-thru rings, at 100 meters the groupings are horrible (6"-10" groups) and there is no consistency - sometimes they are way too high, then way too low, then way to the right, then way to the left.

It's not the rifle because I can get 1.5"-3" groups with the iron sights at 100 yards regularly (I removed the scope to double check).

The rings were tight - the base is tight. Is the scope damaged?

It was bought new, but, I did notice that in trying to sight it is I reached the bottom on the "Up/Down" turret. I know this is bad, it was not my intention... could this 'cause damage to the scope?

I am wondering if I should send it to Burris?

Also, I noticed that Burris is in the US... how hard of a time will I have sending the scope to the US for service then getting it back??

Any replies appreciated.

certainly if it was bought new you should be able to take it back to the dealer to get it replaced , i know with bushnell you have 1 year over the counter replacement then its factory time ,, later
