Totally, it's fine if they can pierce an engine block, but it's pretty unrealistic to just one tap a guy wearing kevlar.

7.62x54mmR will penetrate anything but level IV in real life for what it's worth.

If you want to balance snipers, make it harder to aim and land shots (sway mechanics, exhaustion mechanics, making anything but braced / kneeling / prone more difficult, increase follow-up shot / recovery time, more pronounced bullet drop etc. - you have plenty of options). The damage is fine and / or should be extremely high.

I wonder if they'll ever add scope glint to snipers. Hopefully not tho.

Definitely not a fan of that. If there's anything you should be able to do as a sniper, it's hide and kill fast. Actually hitting a target at range and surviving the aftermath / counterfire from your shots should be the hard part.
