Playing as Zero so Jakobs has been my go to company for my sniper at least.
Actually, I find Hyperion sniper rifles to be much better for a dedicated sniper.
The initial sway is annoying, yes, but there's practically no recoil. In fact, when you shoot, the camera just vibrates a bit, but the cross-hair stays dead on target. It's fantastic for lining up multiple crits quickly.
Additionally, accuracy increasing effects, like from skills or badass ranks, reduces the initial sway.
