If you ask me, every Sniper Rifle is OP. No damage fall-off all the way to 600m, so you can cower in the redline and have 4 counters to you while you deal 200-350 damage with no consquence or immediate danger. Why do people want to one-shot people without consequence? Please explain that to me. A buff to damage would only be justified if snipers were part of the battlefield, instead of a nuisance to it.
When I encounter someone sitting in their safe zone, all I can do is this:
1. Counter snipe - I have a damage modded Tactical fit, but I can't 3-shot the Sentinels and they usually move after the 2nd shot, so desperate to save their fit. And if they're good at what they do, they'll shoot me every time I crouch, trying to protect their crutch. Besides, they're usually head glitching or whatever it's called, so I have to refer to other counters.
2. On some maps, I can reach them with a Forge Gun, so Sentinels aren't a problem.
3. ADS - As I hear, missile turrets can get the job done.
4. This one's my favorite - MLT Dropship, scanner, HMG. Nuff said. Killed 2 Thale's doing this and plenty of Charges.
Pretty much every other game, while I'm pushing the objective and being useful, someone who thinks they're pro from afar makes me drop what I'm doing and deal with them. Some people don't give up, and my match is wasted.
But seriously, put a Tactical on a Scout, have a good sidearm, get out there. It's ridiculously fun and rewarding. A shame people don't try it.

That would be true if it was another game. This game has a large safe zone, and dying matters. Any other game I can bring any weapon to a sniper and deal with him. My options are limited in Dust, and I lose ISK to people who never do. Make sense?
Overall, redline sniping is a broken mechanic. Please don't abuse it until CCP uhh... never fixes it. Haven't heard anything from them on the matter.

Ah, my bad. They do lose ISK, because I get a MLT Dropship and take an HMG over to them. But seriously, should I always have to drop what I'm doing to eliminate one dude that will probably resume his position? Should it take a minute or two to kill someone that can kill in seconds once in position? Think about it.
You also ignored my entire post, by the way.

I swear to god I've seen you do this before
I've only seen you once in an Ambush around 5 am. We're in different time zones, so it's unlikely it was me.
