My accuracy with sniperrifles is 55.58% and still slightly increasing. I've used them for over 30 hours and really love the new sniperrifle, since the crosshairs are so thin.
Having an acuracy above or way above 70% would be possible, but to maintain this you could only take the shot you were very sure of you would hit em. the drawback is that this way you would miss out on a lot of kills, since risky shots can kill the guy aswell. I recently changed my sniping style a bit: I used to try to keep as much distance between myself and the target, because that way there is a only very small change your target kills you first, even if it is another sniper since he has to locate you first.
These days I like to be a fair bit closer for a few reasons: Headshots are no longer heavely dependant on luck like when you can just see the guy on the horizon. Now you can really aim for the head, and not just a silouette. secondly the fact that you can use your pistol to finish the guy off after our first shot hit. Thi results in a dramatic increase in the amounts of kills you get as a sniper. Usually after the first hit your target starts to run and jump and head for cover while you have to reload your rifle. when you switch to your pistol you are able to get a bullet in their direction MUCH faster then when you would use the rifle a second time.
