Assault CK.0
5: damage mod's (3 krins, 2 complex)
3: profile dampeners (complex dampeners)
Ishukone Sniper Rifle
Kalaakiota Magsec SMG
core locus grenade
Nanohive's (highest you can get preferably X3 quantums)
Technically you should be getting the same damage as a calmando, (since the krin's shouldn't have any stacking penalties, need confirmation on this from a DEV) with that being said using the profile dampener's let's you hide from scanner's and other sniper's as well, as they have to actually be near pin-point (because of the dampeners) the kalaakiota (thnks from the krins) get's a small damage boost letting you do some damage, but only if you ambush your target first, or open up with a core locus (depending on frame, the pooch could be screwing you regardless).
Overall Evaluation: Close to near damage as calmando while being able to hide from your enemies (more important to hide than to tank in most case's as you will and can be counter sniped by ishukone's and charge SR's quite easily, even with 500/S and 312/A you can be headshot killed by both; Assault CK.0 has a reload speed applied to it currently, allowing 25% faster reload speed (coupled by the natural reload skill, that'll be 40% increased reload speed).
Sniping tip's and general knowledge: When it come's to sniping, you only need damage for headshot's, high HP heavies will take 2 shot's to kill if it's a crit hit (head shot), amarr on the otherhand with 800 EHP can be 1 shot crit'd, and this is by Ishukone's alone. Charge sniper rifle's will always 1 shot kill high EHP heavies regardless if they are armor or shield, however this shot MUST be a crit, otherwise the weapon is ineffective (unless targeting low EHP/damaged stragglers). Never use tactical's unless your on extreme close range map's or in certain domination and skirmish matches where you can effectively attack enemies alongside your allies (with your allies in front of you clearly), also with the tactical, don't bother headshotting your opponent's you'll only do 110% damage, not worth using on opponent's unless their incompetently still if their moving about (at distance) just keep firing (doesn't matter if they hit, so long as in objective based game's, if their aware of you being in the vicinity and clearly able to hit them, that'll help your allies do the job you need to do).
Situational effectiveness: Each sniper rifle is situational at best, the standart model sniper rifle being the best at counter sniping, the charge being the best at taking down guardian's (sentinels and other high HP target's), and the tactical is best used for suppression's. Take this into account in order the range's are from standart to tactical, 450,400,350, the suit's best used for the tactical, shouldn't matter too much, as you're just going to keep firing regardless if they hit or not, charge doesn't need damage mod's clearly with a crit shot damage of 300%+, only the ishukone really need's damage mod's.

Not even gonna have to try to make this awkward and dirty.... So instead I'll get Herbert the Pervert to do it
