After finishing the quest for the Adored, I ended up infusing it into another weapon since I don't like to use snipers and it was counting as a pinnacle upgrade, so I wanted to make the most out of that power level on other equipment of mine. Little did I know, the collection considers this as "randomized gear", so you CANNOT reaquire it, since the weapon in the collection does NOT have a fixed masterwork.
While the weapon DOES show in the collection, for completionists' sake, you can't reacquire it. I don't personally plan on using the sniper, but if any of you did and were tempted to do the same thing I did, well, don't.
This was my TED talk, take care of your sniper rifle.
