good gun to keep? : Fallout: New Vegas

I'm a big fan of the Cowboy and Hand-Loader perks, so my usual weapon progression is Cowboy Repeater (.357 JFP hand load)->Trail Carbine->Brush Gun (.45-70 SWC hand load).

EDIT: from the wiki:

Fully-modded hunting rifle. I could use that gun through the entire game, especially with hand loader perk and the special .308 ammos you can make.

My weapon progression looked something like this...

Lvl 1-10
10mm Pistol w/ upgrades
Hunting Rifle w/ upgrades
Sawed-off Shotgun

Lvl 10-20
12.7mm Pistol w/ upgrades
Sniper Rifle w/ Upgrades
Lever-Action Shotgun

Lvl 20-30
12.7mm pistol w/ upgrades
Anti-Material Rifle
Hunting Shotgun

Honestly, I liked my weapons the most when I was using the 10mm pistol, hunting rifle, and sawed-off shotgun. Most fun period of the game for me!

Thanks,
Nick

Trail carbine, hunting rifle (higher dam then sniper rifle, but lower rate of fire w/o mod), 10mm smg, Riot shotgun, Pew Pew if you're up to the http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/The_Legend_of_the_Star , Q-35 Matter Modulator...

Anything that works well with your character, his perks, skills, and SPECIAL.

Gunrunners (shop) usualy will have 1 at around level 18 and I think Knight Torres sells them too, but at early levels there vitualy broken.

some Legionares cary them at around the same level (18)

Otherwise I think one of the "Vegas" casino guards have them.
