    My practical (photographic) knowledge of optics is workable, but my
    theoretical knowledge is pretty lame.
    
    Would it be possible to focus the scope to the users eye, and then adjust
    the distance of the laser source from the rear element to obtain focus on
    the distant target?
    
    Hopefully the only dumb question is one not asked.
