Actually Christine's Silenced CoS Sniper Rifle is better than the Gobi-Campaign sniper rifle in every way! :biggrin:
COS is better for sneak criticals and for long range sniping, because of the silencer (the mobs won't make a bee line for you after the first bang) and the higher critical multiplier.
Gobi is a better all-purpose weapon thanks to the better rate of fire so you can shoot faster in mid to close range and you can pull off more shots in VATS because it has a lower AP cost.
IMHO the medicine stick is a better end-game weapon than the Gobi despite the lack of a scope, it's accurate enough for long range shots, does crazy damage and has a decent ROF. The only drawback is the ammo is not as readily available.
