You got yourself a slick looking NCR combat armor, a sniper, guilt and politically-free method of taking something that belongs to a character who is standing next to a strategically(?) placed cliff. Well, don't take the corpse though, that would be sick.

When you climb down, you'll notice his corpse, his sniper gun and his combat armor lying down for the taking. Push him to the cliff, which is next to the guard post. Repeat the clicking and start pushing him off of the guard post by running into him. Climb on guard post and click the E button on the NCR ranger to get his attention. When you get there (or fast-travel to the place) turn to your left and you will see a bunch of camps and a guard post which is guarded by a NCR ranger. If you haven't discovered it yet, it is a little bit to the north of the “Brotherhood of Steel Bunker” map marker, which will appear on your pip-boy since the beginning of the game. The map marker is at the east-most part of the map. First, what you have to do is, pop that pip-boy and go to NRC's Camp Forlorn Hope. With a little metagame you can get that combat armor in no time.

But is worth killing NCR ranger and getting on the bad side of the NCR just because of it? Probably not too. Still, that armor is almost ten times baller than any other armor in the game, but, is the sacrifice of your characters ideology worth the price of the item? Probably not. NCR has one of the coolest armors in the game, yet you may not agree with their philosophy and their geopolitical presence.
