Also will bolt action snipers be unique to NC seeing how they are about using harder hitting but slower firing weapons, and well bolt action is ultimate in that regard.

Every faction sniper will have the same type of weapons which are basically:
-Bolt Action Sniper Rifles
-Auto?/Semi Auto Sniper Rifles
-Other stuff not related to sniping.
Each faction model comes in different statistics and flavours.
Let's take examples related to the weapon you surely place more interst in:
New Conglomerate BA Sniper Rifle: Top Damage, Worst Bullet Drop, Worst Bullet Clip Size, Worst Reload Time
Terran Republic BA Sniper Rifle: Lowest Damage, Best Bullet Drop, Best Bullet Clip Size, Best Reload Time
Vanu Sov BA Sniper Rifle: The more far the target, the less the output damage, NO Bullet Drop, Medium Clip Size, Medium Reload. EXTREMELY FAST BULLET-VELOCITY
Consider BA rifles have an extreme reach, you will not notice a massive damage drop on Vanu weapons unless you are hitting a target at maximum range.
The most easy to use BA SR is the Vanu one, you don't need as much training as others for it.
We can summarize:
NC: Top Damage suited for heavy targets such MAXes and HA. But also good for everything else it manages to hit.
TR: All rounded, it really has low bullet drop and you will keep biting any targets for hours.
VS: Better at Counter-Sniping since Infiltrator HPs are low, and you technically need less time to calculate a 0 bullet drop shot compared to a one with it. Plus it's easier to hit moving targets.
Remember:
Infiltrator is much more then a "Sniper"
Everything is subject to changes
