Thanks for the replies--apparently there's a guy about two hours north of me in Montana who does repairs for Deutsche Optik. His business is called Mountain Optics. I'm going to see if he can fix/service the scope, and possibly install a different reticle to replace the oversized picket. I like the reticle in the Kahles, maybe I'll try to have him duplicate that. I'll update as I learn more, and remain open to suggestions!
