Pretty much (Destiny)

Triple tap/vorpal/extended is the important part, for the rest YMMV. Mine has a handling masterwork w/ fluted barrel, handling upgrades are always nice for snipers.

What I'm not totally sure about is Boss Spec versus Backup Mag in terms of mods. Boss Spec gets you more damage per shot, but Backup Mag gets you a theoretical 7 shots without reloading compared to 5 without. Probably worth testing, it may be a DPS vs. total damage thing.

Ah, I hadn't really thought that through. Using Boss Spec only adds 7.8% damage per shot - that's not nearly enough to compensate for the triple tap change. (With 5 shots, hitting all crits, you get 7 shots with Triple Tap before reload. With 7 shots, you get 10 shots before reload.)
