The aiming device of a gun is called a sight.
Mechanical devices are known as iron sights, even if they are made of brass or other metals.
Sights using lenses are called optical sights, or, if they provide magnification, telescopic sights. "telescopic sight" is usually shortened to "scope" in informal conversation.
