Actually, you can. A character can buy gear up to one level beyond their own. If you're referring to price, that's appropriate as well--in the right hands a sniper rifle is way more powerful than a hunting rifle. As for the name, that's explained right in the weapon description--it refers to the compound sights, and in fact the rifles are "rarely" manufactured by shirrens.
Huh. In the right hands, a hunting rifle IS a sniper rifle.
At least for most of the world's history.
Seriously...do you need a more powerful weapon to kill a large 500 kg animal in one shot, or your typical 70 kg humanoid?
Both need to be very accurate/precise, and preferably maintain little variation in point-of-impact over long distances, but the hunting rifle usually has to be much more powerful to ensure a kill.
