How to unlock the Long Distance Correspondence achievement in Far Cry Classic - Definitive Guide

Also you can obtain this very easily on the Pier level at the start. Take care of the four or five mercs in the beginning. Then set yourself up near the Hang Glder on one of the edges. Look across to the other side of the inlet on the top of the hill You will see two mercs talking and they are well over the 500M requirement and a very easy shot too. Go prone, hold your breath and get that achievement!!! music

I was scanning the map wondering why no one was being tagged.
You need to zoom in for them to be tagged they are on the grassy bit on the left

The first opportunity to get this achievement is at the very beginning of the 3rd mission, Fort. The sniper rifle is in the second shack on the beach, at the foot of the hill. Eliminate the mercenaries on the beach, grab the sniper rifle, and then return to the first dock, on the peninsula where you begin. Adopt a prone position and use the sniper rifle's scope to zoom in on the fort. There should be a patrolling mercenary. Alternately, a mercenary should be standing guard near the highest of the two destroyed pillboxes.

Best off watching the video for exact details but the text below should suffice.

You can first pick up the sniper rifle on the 3rd mission if you want it.

The best place to get this achievement would be in Mission 4 - Pier. After you blow up the armory at the base you are told to get a vehicle. Drive down the road to where there will be a road block with a large vehicle. Dispose of any enemies and back up down the road. Get your sniper out and aim towards the blockade and then pan up. You should see a guard in a tower. This is the person you should kill. He should be at least 500m away if not more just to be sure the achievement counts and you should go prone to avoid sway of the scope.

During the fourth mission "Pier" you'll be told to grab a vehicle, follow the dirt road and soon you will see a large truck with an explosive yellow barrel and a jeep with some enemies blocking a small river crossing.

Once they are all dead, get out of the jeep and look far into the distance (towards the river) and you will see a watch tower with an enemy standing in it. Take out the sniper rifle (you can find one in the previous area with the armory) and make sure you are far enough so the small numbers on the right of the scope read 500m or greater. Aim, hold your breath by clicking LS, fire, pop goes his head and the achievement!

There is another great spot to get this Achievement easily.
Also in the Level "Fort", when Doyle hacks the door and you're under attack,
grab the Rocket Launcher and get rid of the Helicopter and the small boau on the coast down north.
There will be a larger boat with an artillery and one lonley soldier on board.
Most of the times he will try to get off the boat into the water and just swim there steady and ready for you in 537m.

you know what to do.
:D

This can be achieved on Mission 4 (Pier). You will find your first sniper rifle on the previous mission (Fort). During the Pier mission, when you're driving the jeep down the road you will soon encounter a road block with a large truck, a jeep and a few enemies. Kill the enemies and run back where you came from a little so that you can see a watch tower in the distance which is far ahead of the road block. You should go prone so the sniper doesn't sway and decrease your accuracy. At this point kill the enemy at the top of the watch tower as the tower is little above 500m away.

Easy to do at the Fort level. When you get the sniper, return to the huts on the water and shoot someone at the top in the ruins. The distance can be "measured" binoculars

This is done at the Pier level. We first obtain the rifle at the Fort level.
