I have a Deadeye build with an SVD, need to use 2 piece Lone star with that, because it's very easy to run out of ammo playing solo...
With M44... maybe Hunter's faith for increased optimal range... nah, doesn't look like it's worth it.
Specialized backpack and Vigorous (for booster shot + support station) chest piece.
Or Robust vest and Sturdy holster, for close to 70% armor mitigation in cover...
