Remove the rangefinder from the sniper.
Sniper is skill It's a game mode where you have to learn the rifle, the bullet drop, the satisfaction It's the ultimate reward for all players who commit to training in that class. So!! No... to the ...

I played BF 2142, BF 4, BF 5, and BF 2042 (and we could include the two open beta weekends of Battlefield 6).
Only in Battlefield 5 did I exclusively play Recon Sniper and the Krag 98 was my go-to weapon. It had manual zeroing out to 300 M, and it worked beautifully. My sniper binoculars were my actual rangefinder and they worked beautifully.
With my binoculars I would "light up" my target, then instantly switch to my rifle and pull the trigger. Almost always on a stationary target (usually a sniper like myself or somebody taking cover) it was a headshot one-shot kill for which I would get bonus points approximately equal to taking one flag.
So, a sniper using a rangefinder is not a new concept in the Battlefield series, and, frankly, if you continuously play the Recon class you are probably missing most of the battlefield action.
Oh, and by the way, if a player is not crouched or prone when shooting and instead is standing upright and weaving back and forth you are not a sniper. You are a punk. ;-D
Yeah, watching snipers weave back and forth standing upright and getting kills is silly.
This may be a controversial opinion, but I believe new players should unbind the prone button for the first 100 hours.
If there's one thing that's sillier than a sniper weaving back and forth, it's a sniper that thinks he's Vasily Zaitsev, when he's actually just playing Hello Kitty: Point and Click Adventure. Your enemies are holding a C4 rave party 2 meters behind you and you wouldn't even know because you're just lying prone, scoped in and never moving.
