When I think back on my Legendary difficulty sniping I do remember on 2 separate occasions taking out an Elite with one shot. On closer inspection I found out they were Red Elites.
The shot on the first Elite was up into the head/throat, from slightly below.
The shot on the second Elite was from above and down through the skull.
If anyone wants to test this out then go through the end doors in AotCR on Legendary. Use the 'Ghost strafing tactic' to pass through the door. You'll have the sniper rifle with lots of ammo, one Elite of each colour (Red, Blue and Gold). To make things better, they will be totally unaware of you being there. You can test every part of each rank of Elite to see if its possible
