When using any of the snipers, if an enemy is 700m away. Should I use the bar under the middle of the scope? Like in the picture where each bar is 100m more than the last?
In other words, what is the increment the bars represent in distance for the scopes?

Unfortunately the marks on the scope dont correspond with the range so at really far ranges its more of a guessing game.

Could I get confirmation from another expierienced player?

For some extreme distance shots you may find yourself going to the first mark or even under but more often than not most shots beyond 600m will be slightly lower than the crosshair.

Bullet drop is only being currently represented ingame by a linear slope bullet path, rather than a parabolic one. Therefore, bullet drop is very minimal and almost unnoticeable. At 700m, I believe you only need to aim a pixels-worth above the desired point of impact, so if you were to aim at the tip of the head at that distance it would most likely hit near the center of the head.
If at first you don't succeed, try try again; there's no method to determining bullet drop yet beside some experience and guesswork.

The reticle markings don't represent the ballistic trajectory of the bullet (like they do in real life).

Search through Nedland's posts.
There's a lot written on this matter.
