A FN MAG GPMG already has a maximum range of up to 1475m, so with a properly rifled sniper rifle, the effective range can easily be increased up to 30-40%.

Despite having a longer bullet, the SVD fires the Russian 7.62 x 54mmR round, which is heavier as compared to the 7.62 x 51mm. It may have a larger amount of kinetic energy, however it doesn't work out over longer distances due to its larger mass, making it more susceptible to react to gravity over longer ranges.

Regarding snipers, they never allow themselves to be ambushed because they are the ambushers. When their opponents move for them, they run. So unless Kinji can relay information very fast as a spotter with his Hysteria mode, he and Reki can never fit.

@ Tsunade : 2km shots are the norm in open areas, like the open mountains of Afghanistan where both sides can set up OPs and pick the people they want to shoot from over a click away. The only problem is the wind, elevation adds to the advantage of the shot.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.
