 Telescopic sight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Telescopic sights are classified in terms of the optical magnification and the objective lens diameter, e.g.
Telescopic sights come with a variety of different reticles, ranging from the traditional crosshairs to complex reticles designed to allow the shooter to estimate accurately the range to a target, to compensate for the bullet drop, and to compensate for the windage required due to crosswinds.
Telescopic sights allow the user to focus on both the crosshair and the target at the same time, as the lenses project the crosshair into the distance (50 to 100 yards or meters for rimfire scopes, 150 or more for centerfire calibers).

 Red Dot Sights / Reflex Sights & Holosights Explained
Using a telescopic sight can be a big improvement, but still your eye must be exactly in line with the center of the sight tube, and at the correct distance (eye relief) or you get no sight picture-- an issue that gets more critical with increased magnification.
Telescopic sights do solve the issue of focus-- the aiming reticle will appear on the same focal plane as the target, so both are in focus at the same time.
Leveling of a dot sight is done by eyeballing the exterior of the sight so the windage and elevation caps are square with the firearm (or more importantly, level and square with gravity as you hold the weapon in a shooting position).

 Choosing the Right Sight
The usual sight options for hunting rifles are open iron sights (from buckhorn to express), aperture sights (tang, receiver, peep or ghost ring), and optical (telescopic) sights.
On the semi-buckhorn rear sight the sweeping ears of the buckhorn sight are reduced to a bulge on each side of the central notch.
The telescopic sight's most important attribute is that it puts the target and the aiming mark (crosshair or whatever) in the same optical plane.

 ghillie suits & camo » Rifle Scopes Telescopic Rifle scopes have both advantages and (HARRIS BIPODS)
Standard doctrine with iron sights is to focus the eye on the front sight and align it with the resulting blur of the target and the rear sight; most shooters have difficulty doing this, as the eye tends to be drawn to the target, blurring both sights.
Telescopic “Rifle scopes” allow the user to focus on both the crosshair and the target at the same time, as the lenses project the crosshair into the distance (50 to 100 yards or meters for rimfire scopes, 150 or more for centerfire calibers).

Scopes and sights are only effective when being used, thus the firer must be actually aiming at the target rather than just spraying the general area with bullets, which is what the average pedestrian probably does.

 Marksmanship Tips - Americans for Gun Safety (AGS) Foundation
Their vision, much like a Big League baseball pitcher who never sees the batter, only the catcher's glove, is focused on the "sight picture." The steady pressure of the finger on the trigger becomes second nature, with no thought to exactly when the sear is released and the hammer strikes the primer.
Even though you've pulled the trigger and sent the bullet on its way, it is important that you regain your sight picture after the rearward movement of the shot has caused you to move the muzzle of the gun.
If you maintain consistency in your stance, breathing, trigger control, sight alignment, and sight picture, you will better be able to compensate for factors such as the wind or a drop in the bullet's flight path due to gravity.

The rifle itself could be a standard (at first typically a bolt-action rifle), but fitted with a telescopic sight it would become a sniper rifle.
For most rifles equipped with a telescopic sight it is necessary to have this area raised slightly, because the telescope is higher than iron sights and a rifle shooter should steady his cheek against a rifle while aiming.
