The Gallente Scout was always the only scout to properly use the Sniper back in beta, the Matari stuck to knives and hacks. I mean, you could use the Caldari scout now, I believe the rail bonus applies to it, but I am not sure.

But Gallente Scout was always the number one because of the dampening it could do.

Scout gk.0

Highs
Damage Mods

Lows
2 complex Damps, I say two and not one is because the Snipers role is to stay hidden, completely, and scope out the area and relay info to the squad(if you ever run a squad) and two can keep you completely invisible from those pesky scanners. Anymore than that is overkill.
The last two slots can be filler.

Any Sniper of Choice besides Roden
Any sidearm of choice (could even do the Bolt Pistol..ugh)

Nanohives and Uplink

Or you could go Caldari Scout, I am pretty sure the scout gets the rail bonus aswell.

Highs would be two damage mods and two shield extenders perhaps, or 3 shield extenders.

Lows would just be 2 damps

the weapons and equipment wouldn't change, except Bolt Pistol on a CalScout is a huge help.

I do not approve of Commandos and Assaults using the Sniper Rifle. They should stick to the front line. They do not damp as well as any scout does, unless your name is Kaizuka Sniper...

sorry bud but the only suits that get any bonuses to Rail weaponry is the Cal assault and Cal commando, any commando gets bonus reload to light weaponry so they get a pseudo buff to the Sniper rifle but it works best on the Cal commando and Cal assault as they are the ones that have multiple advantages to using rail weaponry and they are made to be long range engagement suits
