I'm gonna be honest; Legolas had magic elf eyes with hundreds of years of experience with his magical bow. I'm pretty sure giving him a modern sniper rifle would just be a side-grade at best and the book would be just about the same length.
At the cost of having to carry a bigass sniper rifle instead. I expect that he could have carried more ammo, yes, but one of the moves he pulled in the defense of helms deep was stabbing an orc in the eye with an arrow then pulling it out and firing it at another orc. I still think it would be a side-grade, rather than any sort of clear upgrade.
Chapter two : Hobbiton is considered a threat to Rohan. A coalition forms with the elves and Gondor to sabotage and/or steal the big boom stick. Gandalf and Isengard publicly express worry for the peaceful state of the world.

I do remember him having ammo supply problems at Helm's Deep - think of how many more bullets he could've carried!

If you've got super vision increasing it by some factor is still going to be a net gain.
But he'd probably be limited by the ammo more than anything.

It certainly saves a lot of paper.
