Considering 1 point = 100 hours of training, that tends to mean with someone with 12 DX that only 100 hours of training puts them at 12 skill.
I can't imagine putting 1 point in a skill makes you an expert sniper. I can agree it makes you trained, but not expert. I'd probably never stat an enemy sniper, even average at less than 13 in Rifles.
Of course, it's up to each GM, but judging from all the templates for NPCs and such, you don't tend to see combat "Experts" at less than 13.
