Ok, let's take a look on the info we have. Gunbunny wants:
- Rifle types (So Sniper & Shotgun classes)
- cheap
- best not low quality
- means to increase quality
- possibly the licenses

So, we have some things to choose from... let's look at the challengers.
Snipers and Hunting Rifles
Pioneer 60
It's cheap, it's available, it's decently accurate with a startinv char and packs a punch. For 500 bucks it is almost a disposable weapon... but surely not the prime example in the collection. It could benefit from a scope, but it has no slide to mount it easily.
Ruger 100/101
Mediocore price, but it packs more punch and is still very available. Good for something sold as a hunting rifle - decend low budget sniper. Packs a scope and shock pad already, and is well accurate for a beginning sniper.
Remington 950
The more pricy hunting rifle choice, with a smaller magazine in comparison to the Ruger, but more punch. Shoots slower also, and doesn't bring a scope or shock pad. Still, if you need the damage and are good enough to make the extra accuracy count, THIS can be your crown jewel. It can't take a Bipod or under barrel acessory though.
Parashield Dart Rifle
Not the cheapest and packing only injector dart ammo, this rifle-like weapon is your goto for nonlethal. Or to give somebody a golden shot full of H.
Shotguns
The benefit of shotguns is their ammo: loading them with either buckshot or massive slugs shouldn't make a price difference, and both bullet types can't be identified onto a gun afterwards because both deform extensively after the shot.
Defiance T-250
Your good old gas operated shotgun with a punp action backup. You can shorten it if you need to make it concealable, and it is cheap. Have a long and a short if you can spare the 1000 bucks for both. And you can license them as hunting weaponry. Not the most accurate though.
PJSS Model 55
Two-barreled shotgun with a huge punch, hunting weapon, and it can be shot as a short, 2-ammo burst. A bit pricy, but it is a weapon of style and it is accurate in contrast to most rifles.
Remington 990
A bit less pricy than the PJSS, it is again a hunting shotgun. Pump action, and it has a slide to mount a scope for some better accuracy.
