I've taken screenshots of some examples, although if I were to put it into production, it will look very different than what the in-game examples look like.

If you are already willing to have it look "very different" are you also willing to have it perform "very different"? Because a custom one off firearm is either a labor of love, or a rather nice car worth of money.
If you could get your hands on a .410 MTs-255 revolver shotgun it would look closer to the Borderlands rifle, but you would need to change out the barrel rib for a picatinny rail, and either add a rifled shotgun barrel for shooting 45 Colt or accept that it would only be shotgun accurate.
I think the easiest way to achieve something that looks similar is to use a Rossi Circuit Judge, pull the iron sights off and add a barrel sleeve to make it longer and add a cosmetic square bit in front of the action, then bolt on a picatinny rail to the top of the action and barrel sleeve. That's a lot of machining work for something that won't actually be sniper rifle accurate.
If you want something that looks "old west space steampunk" like from Borderlands or Firefly but actually is sniper accurate (at least to WWII levels of sniper accuracy), look into getting an Enfield rifle and modifying that with a scope mount and scope (if you are ok going with a bolt action), or a Rem 760 pump rifle and "tarting it up" a bit with a faux revolver cylinder on the left side of the action.
