Forum:My revolvers outdamage my snipers, why?

Someone ease my mind. I mostly play hunter, and since I got off the bus in PT1 I have used revolvers and snipers as my guns of choice ever since. As I have played thru the entire game, both PTs, all three DLCs, and I have slowly improved more and more on my guns. Now that I can get up to level 61 guns, the revolvers I am finding are way higher damage than my sniper rifles. If I have a damn equalizer with 1200ish damage and the best sniper I can find is in the upper 900s, than what is wrong? My bloody equalizer is 1344 damage, and my cyclops is 747, its lame.

I am venting and want to know gun characteristics. Aside from a higher zoom and I believe higher bullet velocity, why not just use scoped revolvers? Its starting to bum me out, plus I cant find high damage legendary snipers, the damn purple ones are 2-300 damage higher. I got nothing against purples, but I like the cyclops scope.
