Yeah, the revamped M14 is by far my favourite sniper now! I love it! It's a bit of a weak gun for sniper standards, but you can get the big scopes for it, enabling you to stay farther away from the battle. Also, having the automatic mode allows for me to equip a lighter pistol and shed it's attachments (since I won't need to switch to it), and therefore carry better equipment.
My tip for sniping-
Try out the M14, but DONT act like it's socom 2. If you treat it like an assault rifle that can snipe, you'll fail. Treat it like a sniper that can be auto, and you can be great with it.
PS- I also find that, contrary to the sniping from S2, it is much more worth the trouble to go for headshots, as most of the snipers are weaker, but with big scopes and good hiding spots, the enemies won't have time to find you if you want to wait for the perfect shot.
