Basic categories are traditional "iron" sights, with a rear notch or hole and a front post, electronic "red dot" sights (not at all the same thing as laser sights as seen in movies), laser sights (not very common, they look cool on film but have major drawbacks), and telescopic sights ("scopes"). Sometimes a rifle will have more than one kind.

Many-rifles are equipped with either: aperature or open, front & rear "iron" sights; as well as a mounting rail for either: telescopic-optical (with aiming reticle) or laser sights. Aperature or open "iron" sights work by lining up marks/openings in front & rear sights. Telescopic/optical by lining up a reticle's center markings. Laster by lining up projected dot on target.
