Extended Range doesn't add to the range you can attack at (as written). It removes range penalties from the specified number of Areas (but also adds a Minimum Range with double penalties).
A sniper rifle firing Assault ammunition has no range penalty between 5 and 20 areas. Double penalty under 5 areas and normal -1 per Area over 20 areas. Adding a Tactical Sniper Scope, RAW, doesn't change the 20 Areas; but intent is certainly to add another 20 Areas (making no range penalty between 5 and 40 Areas). As an aside, having Hawkeye Advantage removes the minimum as well (with a minimum of Insight 4).
I have an (untested) suggestion that indirectly works.
Change to the Extended Range (R) Quality on pg.75 Add: This quality also replaces the specified range of all Firing Modes which have one (see pg.93-94). ie: Headshots can only be made that have no range penalty due to this Quality.
