That might be partly down to lag, me thinks. Hitboxes are the same for every weapon. I've had no problems with the L96, SV98 and M40A3 in taking down moving targets or getting headshots at over 300m.

Whenever I fail at sniping it's because of the controls and the input lag. I find it's difficult to fine tune my aim in BF3 - something about how the right stick's input near the zero point is read. Much easier to fine-tune in CoD games and in BC2.
