So I was thinking for Immoral Conduct, I have an assault rifle using rifle ammunition, it's pretty much done, but I want to make something with the semi-auto rifle. It feels slightly redundant, but a high powered rifle has it's uses, so would it make any sense to turn it into a long range rifle of sorts?

Maybe not directly a sniper rifle, but to give you enough zoom to let you engage a target at long range a bit easier. Possibly at a higher cost of ammo or even a different ammo type (though I'm hesitant of the latter, as I like how ICD handles ammo).
It'd thus have a radically different role compared to the current rifle, which otherwise basically is just "rifle but it shoots slower and harder, also it has a pointy end"

Something like an old Mauser rifle (perhaps a Norwegian or Israeli K98k, captured/bought German Mauser rifles converted to more modern calibers). Like some old milsurp junk the UAC could have managed to just snatched up for cheap in some trade deal at some point, and someone thought it could make sense for occasional animal control, 'animal control' and long range shooting.
