Try this. Instead of circle-strafing, as you do to dodge an expert pistol, try running straight for cover. HOWEVER, make sure you just stop in place at RANDOM intervals. This throws a sniper off more than anything because when you are running he has to lead the shot, especially in Blood Gulch and Sidewinder. It's called stutter-stepping, and is the most effective method of dodging sniper fire while out in the open.
You can add the duck when you stop. But if he aims for your body, for an easier shot, the sniper might get lucky with a head shot.
If I know a sniper is there, or if he misses his first shot, 9 out of 10 snipers will not hit me with 1 more bullet. I hump the ground while they reload and start to dodge all over again just so they get angry and forget I'm part of a team ;)
