without being up on the RVN stats That sounds about right . Carlos Hathcock did a lot of counter sniper work too in VN because they sent a lot of snipers after him (ref the end part of your post)
some teams are deployed heavily for the observer side of the equation. (In support of the CQB / Hostage rescue mission for example) They work closely with the door kickers and sometimes they do sniper initiated assaults that actually coordinate the entry count down between the breaching team and sniper teams. Trail sitters may be out for days simply observing and not actually intending an interdiction.
Urban Snipers (think Vasily Zaitsev) work a lot closer in then field snipers and require a whole different tool box of skills that their counterparts dont use.
so yea its kinda like varmit hunting but then its not
