I’m creating a stealth-oriented sniper build using a Hunting Rifle as my primary weapon. I’m looking for recommendations for a sidearm that I can pair with it. Ideally, I’d like a pistol that can accommodate a suppressor, but it doesn’t need to be specifically focused on stealth. Any thoughts on what works well?

I’d suggest considering a .44 Magnum or a 10mm pistol as good sidearm options. The .44 hits hard, and the 10mm can be suppressed. If you prefer something that operates smoothly with a sniper setup, the Gauss Pistol might be the best route. Plus, you can match your Gauss Rifle to minimize ammo types.
If you want a solid sidearm for your sniper build, the Gauss Pistol is a great pick. It can be suppressed and deals damage quickly, which is fantastic for taking down enemies without drawing too much attention. Just keep in mind the ammo might be a bit heavy, but with the right setup, it shouldn’t be an issue.
For your build, I find the Lever Action can be a fun alternative. If you go for that, pairing it with a .44 Magnum allows you to channel a classic gunslinger vibe. But you might lose some stealth if you don’t stick to quieter weapons like the 10mm or Crusader, which both support suppressors.
