I would love to see a bolt action rifle as well, I think it would be a great addition and a good high end weapon for the sharpshooter. I just do not think it should be at the expense of a weapon which is already in the game (that's the real kicker), has an important place in a persons load out, and which is liked by a good many people.
On another note, I really don't like the idea of including a "sniper" rifle. Any bolt action rifle would be ok, but not something ridiculous like a magnum firing or .50 cal gun. I also dont really think it should have a scope, just to keep the crossbow relevant to the game.
