How strong are sniper scavs supposed to be?

The reason I ask is not because I have an issue with them hitting shots, it's just that sometimes it feels like there is nothing I can do.

I spawn in on Customs and immediately, my position is given away by a sniper scav across the map within 5 seconds of spawning. As I have a shotgun, I retreat.

In raid, I find a Fast MT in a stash, then proceed forward, moving my visor on my LsHz to my new Fast helm.

As I move by a building, I hear some movement, yelling in Russian, notice a sniper scav on top of it, and instantly die in two shots.

Initially, I thought it was because of the new M61 I keep hearing about that scavs have.
Nope.

Turns out that for the first time, I got Head, Ears'd.

So this sniper scav instakilled me around my brand new class 4 helmet and face shield by hitting my ear in 2 quick shots.

Again, no issue with them actually being accurate, but, is this SUPPOSED to happen, or did I just get Tarkov'd really hard? Thanks!
