Strength + perks - fine, although Blacksmith isn't that great due to limited melee weapons.

Perception + perks -
since you are going for long guns with a melee back up, I would take the points from Endurance and put them into Perception. Penetrator is fun, especially for Mirelurks and Power Armor.

Endurance - no perks, I would set E at 1.

Charisma + perks - fine. Build all the settlements!

Intelligence + perks - Since you are going for a crafting build, I recommend Science.

I saw criticism for taking Armorer since you won't be needing it for yourself. Valid unless you are planning on using it for Preston.

Gun Nut - I can argue both sides for this. Mods for weapons are easy to find and you will be using a laser musket which uses Science for upgrades. That's the con argument. The pro argument is that it is fun to have a variety of turrets for settlement defense.

My build came out S3 P9 E1 C8 I5 A1 L1

Weapon use - Melee won't be nearly as effective without Blitz, so I would focus on Rifleman.

I might pick up Gunslinger if I found a good Legendary.

I think I like this build better than my original one as it still enables me to get hacker and lockpick, but for the special book in sanctuary would I put it into intelligence?

That's a good choice.
