You seem to be making a super-soldier rather then a specialist in sniping.

Reloading takes a looooong time. Fast draw shaves off 1/3 of that. I see you on the melee skills. The advice I read was to broaden your skillbase before going crazy deep, but I have points to go deeper into sniping.

1) First Aid is taught to all soldiers in Western armies, I didn't see that on your sheet and it is a really useful skill.

2) I think Workaholic would be a better disadvantage than Overconfidence. Snipers are really careful and patient, but that may not suit the concept you want.

3) I would go with a rifle skill of 20+ for a 300 point sniper character.

I had figured First aid would fall under Soldier, but that is important. Same with hiking, swimming, and climbing. Workaholic doesn't seem physically possible on a mission. If you are doing stuff 18 hours a day, Workaholic means you would voluntarily get zero sleep. There is the self-control roll, so I can see that.
