As much cyber as it takes. Basically I'm just trying to build the optimal sniper.

The optimal sniper is a Mystic Adept.  No cyber needed.

Things that magic can do that cyber can't.

Give you a Longarms skill of 9 with Improved Ability.
Use the Enhance Aim spell to automatically negate all range penalties so that you can engage two targets per pass.
Shapechange you into a bird to fly yourself and your rifle wherever you need to be.

I'm looking for optimization within the specified parameters. This character is for someone else. He wants a human sniper with cyber. Bioware is probably fine to use too.

That's entirely dependent on the Force of the Air Spirit using Movement on it.  :P

Joker, you want a classic bush-sniper?  Outdoor group all swole with points?  Digestive expansion so he can live off leaves and cat poop?
or,
Do you want an urban assassin who'd be making his cheddar popping capos and disapperating?

Infiltrator / Sniper / Melee.
Almost all bioware so he can easily pass security stations looking very average and unthreatening. The chameleon cloak and shock frills he explains to be required for wildlife/wild critter photography.
The non-tailored bioware is second hand.

Name: Cheveyo ‘Chev’ Ngoyva
Alias: Whistler
Race: Ork
Sex: Male
Nationality: Pueblo
Lifestyle: Low
Karma Spent: 0
Physical Description: Nothing special... Orkish.
Personality/background Trained and "built" by an ambitious member of the Koshari who wanted to create his own private Tir Ghost/Red Samurai in order to deal with his rivals (both outside enemies as rivals on the way to the top). Managed to keep the 'project' hidden for a decade until his plans got out and was violently put to an end by very angry Koshari. Chev managed to get away in the chaos and managed to save the lives of the surgeon and his family.

just one remark on your build Xzylvador: He has Wired reflexes lvl2 - that's a big flash on cyberware scanners might be usefull to get a fake license for that one too
just have it say in is fake sin he's ex military and they couldn't be safely removed
I know its Alpha ware, but you have in total 4 pieces of cyberware wich will affect the threshold for detection

Suprathyroid Gland: Placed on top of an individuals existing thyroid gland, the suprathyroid gland supersedes the metabolic functions of the thyroid, optimizing catabolism and anabolism. The altered metabolism produces more energy and effectively supercharges the recipient. Characters with a suprathyroid gland have a tendency toward hyperactivity and must ingest twice as much food and drink as a normal person to fuel the the higher metabolic rate. - SR4A P.346

while i understand why you want a suprathyroid gland, it's just my personal opinion that for a sniper, it might not be the best choice. especially considering the normal duties of said sniper. Hyperactivity isn't exactly something that's useful for someone that's supposed to be a bush for up to a week. although I'll be the first to admit that i totally had one in my build until i read the above description. Then again if your boy is playing the urban assassin role that might work better than how i had my build who could do either. also just an edit, it's not the survival skill group, it's the outdoors skill group.

I like him though. build looks solid :D
