Here's what I say, M21. The first sniper I mastered and got fall on. I get one shot kills all the time with this with stopping power, just aim for the upper chest and above. This sniper does take more skill to get 1 shot kills with, not spraying, I hate people who spray. Plus if you use silencer and stopping power you can still get one shot kills. Guys, go with M21.

Without Stopping Power, it's a 1-hit-kill from the chest up, but it doesn't benefit from Stopping Power at all, sadly. Though, if you silence this gun and throw Stopping Power on it, it's still a 1-hit-kill from chest and up.
The M21 on the other hand has just a touch less recoil, but it's only a 1-shot-kill if you hit them in the head. Stopping Power does benefit this gun, but only in the chest-and-up region. I suggest if you don't plan on going for heads ALL the time, you should go for two quick shots to the gut/chest area WITHOUT Stopping Power while using a Silencer. The Silencer lowers the damage to 50, so the shots have to be within a few seconds of each other or you won't kill them with two shots.
Basically, for a STEALTH sniper, go for the M21. It has little-to-no recoil and is a 2-hit-kill with a Silencer Equipped. Stopping Power doesn't affect the silenced version of this gun in any way. (98 damage headshots).
If you plan on being able to run around a little bit, perhaps go for a Sleight of Hand Pro/Light Weight Pro combo with the WA2000. It allows for a quick zoom in, and if you give it enough time that you could hold your breath and take a shot to the chest, it's a 1-hit-kill.
I suggest putting Steady Aim Pro on both of these guns, (if stopping power is used on the M21) as you have to hit chest and above for a 1-hit-kill.
Side Note: The WA2000 has the longest switch in/out animation of any gun. If you need a shotgun/machine pistol (except for the M93 Raffica) to defend yourself at close range, use the M21. I've died in the time it takes to switch to a Desert Eagle, but the time is DRASTICALLY shorter than switching to any other type of gun.
Stopping power does affect the silenced version. With stopping power you can get 1 shot kill headshots, without it it takes 2 shots.
