Range for snipers 80m? Needs to be increased!

First, let me say I understand that in games there's a limit to what you can do, especially for ranges. Trying to have a Battlefield-like range for snipers in Andromeda would be silly. Though many of the planets are 'open', they aren't meant for that kind of super long range combat. However, I was heavily pissed when I pulled the nomad up to a Kett encampment, pulled out my sniper, and after a few shots from my newly made Widow, realized that, hey, after 80m, your shot just.. disappears' - sucks to be you, at 112m or so from the enemy. Let me put this range in context - 80m is about 240 feet or so. A standard issue M16A4 is rated to about 300m or so - just with iron sights. That's around 900 feet - So over 3 times what our high powered Widow 'it's a space Barret .50 cal' sniper rifle can hit, apparently. 

I understand also for game mechanics that there has to be a cutoff point somewhere, but I remember being in Mass Effect 1 and sniping goons outside of an outpost or pirate base, nd them scrambling to fire back at me, and having a great time with it. All I'm asking is, if I can see the enemy, I should be able to hit the enemy - and, if the enemy is alerted to my presence (i.e. I've shot at them, or driven off in one direction), they should be able to fire back. Is that too ridiculous an idea? Heck, even extending the range out to, say, 150m would be great - extend out the area you can fight in a bit.
