Off the top of my head, there several candidates:
Low-Light
Hollow Point
Sidetrack
Cross Hair
Spirit
Ambush
Recoil
Sneak Peek
Stalker
Recondo
Starduster
Snake Eyes
...and more...
I actually thought of combining recon and sniper Joes. There are so many Joes that can go both assault and recon (such as Stalker, Gung-Ho, Leatherneck, all the SEALS, etc). I thought of actually having each Troop perform both assault and recon tasks. I think the SAS has their Troops performing both roles (I might be mistaken though).
The sniper Joes I came up with are:
Claymore (Troop Commander)
Snow Job
Spirit
Low-Light
Ambush
Windchill
Ballistic
Hollow Point
Crosshair
Barrel Roll
Long Range v2
Mouse

Lowlight, Crosshairs, Mouse, Recondo (per TF Convention), Ballistic, Long Range, Ambush, Barrel-Roll, Hollow-Point, Spirit maybe?
I believe each helicopter had 2-3 Delta snipers aboard them. The Blackhawk Shughart and Gordon were on had a third sniper but he could not deploy down on the ground with them. Apparently he took over one of the mini guns after a crew chief was hit. Also the first Blackhawk that was shot down (Wolcott's) had two Delta snipers, Jim Smith and Daniel Busch. Smith survived but Busch died of his wounds later on. He and Smith were defending the crashed helicopter and Busch was shot several times.
