re: Best sniper rifle in BF3?

One of my few gripes with BF3 is the sniper rifle damage. I feel like a headshot is the only way to get a one shot kill with the sniper rifle.
I'm pretty sure if you get hit in the chest/neck with a .50 cal round your arse is dead.
It's been rare, but I've shot someone and appeared to hit them in the head, they kill me (cause I suck at sniper duels) and I see they have like 2% health left. Like what the frick?

a headshot is the only way to get 1 shot kills if they are 100%.
supposedly, Bolt action Sniper rifles are having their damage increased in an upcoming patch.
just throw a straight pull bolt on your bolt action SR or use an automatic SR... not too hard to get a clean followup shot

M98B shoots the .338 round, not the .50 cal
The M98B is best for medium and long range sniping, 95 Damage, 1 shot headshot kill
The L96, M40, and SV98 are all comparable with each other, with 75 damage and 1 shot headshot kills. Any of these with a straight pull bolt are usually better options for close to intermediate range sniping because of the faster bolt pull and larger magazines. The L96 gets a slight edge for having a higher muzzle velocity than the others, so it has less bullet drop than the M40 and SV98.
ETA
The semi-autos, Mk11, SVD, M39, SKS, and QBU, all require at least two headshots for a kill unless its close range, within 25 meters or so. Put a Holographic sight on them and use them as battle rifles, otherwise they are worthless
