QUOTE (Wounded Ronin)
So if I want my terminology to be correct, I should not have a "sniper" skill? Instead I want a "sharpshooter" skill, where sniping would be considered a combination of using your Stealth skill, your Survival Skill, your Rifles skill AND your Sharpshooter skill?

Sounds better to me, yes.

"Sniping" entails an awful lot more than getting off just the actual shot itself -- where as "sharpshooting" is (to me at least) pretty indicative of just the actual trigger/scope work, less so the field craft, etc.

Every sniper is a sharpshooter, but most sharpshooters aren't snipers.
