Actually, I disagree. I'm not trying to take away from your opinion, but I think Praedyth's Revenge is second only to the Icebreaker. PR is one badass sniper.

The raid sniper is great for situations that call for rapid, accurate sniper fire.

Maybe, but I'm talking about the damage

Depends on the target. Ice Breaker is great if you're dealing with a target you can take out in only a few shots, AND is not moving (like the Gatekeeper). In those situations its massive damage is an asset, and its massive recoil not much of a liability. But I prefer to use PRs during the Atheon fight. Because in the chaos of tyring to a whole raiding party beneath the relic shield AND try to land multiple shots on Atheon's crit spot.... In the dark..... While people move around you....and Atheon is doing bobbing and weaving around, AND your trying to keep track of the Times Vengence time.... I will almost always do more CUMULATIVE damage rapidly unloading a full mag of PR rounds into Atheon ---because PRs neglible recoil keeps the weapon on target----than trying fire-and-then-reacquire every time with an Ice Breaker. So the weapon that does the most single-shot damage isn't always the best choice for the job.

Guess it depends on the person oh how they want to do it, for example I like to use my supremacy for the greater damage, but it's hard to handle
