Does ranger armor improve sniper rifles?

[Kauldric]

Just say "lever" which I take to mean lever action rifles; does it also mean sniper rifles, hunting rifles, etc?

No, the ranger damage buff only applies to the lever action rifle, and the two revolvers - the 44 magnum and the pipe pistol. I guess the "old west" type guns.

should also buff the double barrel. they had those back then too pretty sure.

neat to have armor that buffs very specific weapons across a bunch of skill trees, without focusing hard on any one. and makes a mid tier weapon rival a top tier.

should have a higher damage buff at tier 6 though, like +100%. since it is buffing lower tier items only. you miss out on a sniper rifle and desert vulture, with a +60% preacher glove buff, but get a lever action/revolver that almost matches it in damage but has a massive reload buff to compensate the low ammo pool.
