First of all, the standard sniper rifle is crap, you cant even 1-hit-Kill with headshots.

Second: I really don't know what a x17 scope is, if it's a type, you actually menat x7...>get a x10/x12 scope. seriously, if you wanna go for long rang sniping you'll need it.

third: when it comes to damage, the xm98 is a great choice while doing nearlye twice as much damage, absolutely enough to headshot-kill anyone. Note that it isnt enough to get a bodyshot. You have to get a feeling for bullet-drop and then you can get some nice, clean long range kills.

fourth: it is necessary to exit the scope since its a BOLT-ACTIION, means you need to reload after every shot, and reload the whole clip after 5.
