reticle
Eyepiece aiming grid
A reticle is a pattern of fine lines or markings in the eyepiece of an optical device—a telescope, microscope, or rifle scope—used to measure or aim.
The crosshairs in a sniper scope are a reticle.
In video games, the reticle is the aiming indicator on screen: Center the reticle on the target before firing.
