It's particularly important you get the ones in the open quickly before they can reach cover. If on a main playthrough you should consider using a Dead Eye tonic before you start as it won't let you out of the sniper vision to use one. Only use Dead Eye to line up the headshot, come out of it to move and find the next target. You can also consider taking some Thyme seasoned big game meat before you start to get a gold Dead Eye core. Note you don't fail for taking health items in this mission, but will all gold attempts, you can take them BEFORE you start, and it should last for the duration. Other than that most of the sequences are semi-scripted so there's not the much option to make up time. Find the sniper in time using the route shown (that's easy enough), and grab hold of him if you can - then either push down the left stick to slam him to the floor, or get him against the wall to finish him off quickly. I'm also unclear if reading Mary Linton's letter at the end of this video counts towards the mission time - I would put it away quickly just to be on the safe side and read it after you get you gold confirmation pop up. In this run I skipped the cut scenes and the letter, then edited them back in from a desperate play through.
