[XND] Use That Sniper's Scope!

Description
Direct download from GitHub[github.com] (source[github.com])

Compatibility
Not recommended to use this with Combat Extended. Can safely be added to and removed from ongoing savegames.

Though there won't be any issues using this with sniper rifles from mods, the aforementioned sniper rifles will need to be patched in order to give accuracy bonuses.

If you find any bugs, please link me to a full output log and give some basic information on how you triggered the bug; this is vital information for me to be able to fix said bugs.

Overview
Ever thought that it was silly that whoever uses a sniper rifle never actually took advantage of its scope and ended up having the same sort of accuracy as if they used a weapon with iron sights, despite scopes having this fabled ability to zoom in on targets to enhance accuracy?

Now colonists and raders alike can use their sniper's scope to hit their shots more often at longer distances! In gameplay terms, a sniper rifle now gives the equipping character a shooting accuracy bonus equivalent to having the Careful shooter trait.

Happy hunting!

As is standard with my mods: you may include this mod in a mod pack, and you may derive from this, but please inform me if you're doing so through Ludeon Forums (preferably) or the Steam Comments Section, and give credit where credit's due.

Note for 1.1: This mod will not be updated

@Aaronthelemon - It makes the sniper increase the accuracy stat of the shooter, so it benefits across all ranges. The benefit's just larger at long range than at close range.

But this mod doesnt make the sniper better at close range?

Honestly as good as this sounds, slapping an optic on a rifle doesn't actually make you more accurate with it at a closer range, only at longer (100,200m+) ranges

Making seriously good mods dude!

I would like to recommend that this mod include a way for the user to add other weapons to a list that gives the weapons this behavior. Perhaps in the mod settings section. Not sure how it can be done but some mods do have similar functionality. It means you don't have to add mod compatibility patches, leaving it to the user to add specific weapons.
