A telescopic sight, commonly called a scope, is a sighting device that is based on an optical refracting telescope. They are equipped with some form of graphic image pattern (a reticle) mounted in an optically appropriate position in their optical system to give an accurate aiming point. Telescopic sights are used with all types of systems that require accurate aiming but are most commonly found on guns. Other types of sights are iron sights, reflector (reflex) sights, and laser sights.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Charles Ek: Given the wording of the sentence in question, this is the right choice. "Rifle scope" is usually used to distinguish from a "spotting scope". "Telescopic sight" and the redundancy-laden "telescopic scope" are mostly used by people who don't fire rifles.
