I bought this rifle and it came with BSA scope. Its worked fine for the last two seasons, but while cleaning the gun for storage at the end of the season, I noticed that the crosshairs turn when i adjust the power level. Is it worth it to get it fixed or better to just buy a new scope?

What that means is they are not mounted correctly. The scope mounts should be square with your rifle when fitted, when the scope is placed into the mounts, it should be turned to be square with the rifle.
Firstly, make sure you do not "cant" when you shoot. That is hold the rifle at an angle instead of vertical. Once you are sure that is OK, then put it into a vice using blanket or some other soft material to protect the stock. Get the rifle perfectly square using a spirit level. There should be a flat spot on the top of the action that you can use. Once this is achieved, you loosen off the scope mounts and square the scope up to your satisfaction. Once done, tighten the mounts up and then remove from the vice.

If it repeatably blows the fuse, it is a transformer problem. You can order a new one through Fisher Scientific. The part # is XP-MC2-TR1. They are around $40.
