Frankly, I think that if any covenant is a sniper, they'll have specialist elites doing it.
The documentary on the covenant states that Jackals are low ranking, thus, expendable. An elite is far better trained than a jackal, and I doubt they would accept having a "Lesser specis" doing something better than them.
Plus, I think jackals are too nervous to make good snipers, they are REALLY twitchy, and I don't think they'd like being all alone on a cliff, with no-one but grunts watching your back.
I also agree with EzCompany2Squad about their shields.
Jackals are too paranoid to go anywhere without shields.
