Hard scoping isn't cheap but it is quite cowardly if it's [u]all[/u] you do. One time I threw a throwing knife at a guys head while he was scoped in and he just shifted left and stayed scoped in, I was behind him. As a sniper I get that it's the point of the sniper to hardscope but at the same time you need to scope out and use a primary from time to time, or at least move with the sniper.
