Hello peter callsing blackbird and welcome to the forums. I do not suggest sniping as it is an incredibly dull and boring role to play. Imagine sitting in one or two positions for the vast majority of the day, getting eaten alive by mosquitoes and red ants.
If you like boredom and playing with your winkie, then yea, go for it. Otherwise, I really don't suggest it. For a good sniper rifle that works AS a sniper rifle, you're looking at spending $700-800 for the gun, another $400 for the upgrades and only THEN will you potentially have a gun that's worthy of using as a sniper role. Be warned... it sucks.
