Thank you. I found it last night after reading your post. I've upgraded it. It does 85-88 damage (don't remember). I put the extended mag on it and it carries 40 rounds and fires fairly quickly (almost as fast as you can pull the trigger...or click the mouse, in this case).
I am one-shotting everything, now. And the accuracy is over 100. I still died, once, against a legendary rad scorpion (I had half health and radiation damage) but it only took 2 shots to kill it once I tried again.
This game just got fun. I have sneak attack damage perk turned on, too. I have gun nut 2 (which is how I got my sniper upgraded).
My only problem with the game is actually a good thing: leveling up takes a bit.
Here's a "secret" I figured out:
Find a bunch of steel and wood resources. Then build things like the toobox (2 steel for 2 XP). Build TONS of tool boxes. I have over 2000 steal and built probably thousands of toolboxes very quickly. I was able to level up 5 times before I dropped below 300 units of steal (because you can only recycle half of the steel when you scrap the lunch boxes).
With the idiot savant perk turned on, it randomly gives you 3x the XP which greatly speeds up the power-leveling process.
