Is Snipetron a good weapon?

I see Snipetron is a Plague Star reward, is it worth the grind? Is it better than Rubico?

Not better than rubico, the meta is (for eidolons, outside of eidolons vectis and rubico swap places) 

Vectis p with riven and p chamber>rubico p>snipetron vandal

Just for mastery points

Rubico is better due to its Crit Multiplier which is double that of Snipetron and it goes up further when zoomed.

is it good? not really. certainly not better than rubico.

sniper rifles in general arent very useful. the only time i ever equip my rubico p is when i have to for a riven challenge, or if the sortie is sniper only.....and even then i work around it by using titania or xaku or some such frame that lets me not have to use it.

theres just too many other weapons that outclass snipers.

Exactly. 

It may be mostly MR fodder but what if you decide a few months from now that you care about leveling up ALL MR fodder?

Plague Star is easy to grind. Just nab the BP and be done with it its like what... one run?

Easy enough to get, so might as well. If you like to use it, the game will let you do most all of the content that’s important with it (I expect it will fall off somewhere in Steel Path, which is where builds go to die anyways; just a matter of how long it will last)
