You were really close on the title. It most likely is Robert Moran Private by Ken Catran
Here's a descrip:
Robert, the son of war hero Jacko Moran, swore he'd never be like his father. However in the battles of the Second World War he finds himself facing the same demons as Jacko.



Both books focused on father and son relationships e.g. Grandfather Morgan was in WWI as an officer and had a bad relationship with his son, so during WWII the son was set against becoming an officer.
The second book was set during the Vietnam War and was the reverse of the first.
Both protagonists in the books were snipers or the equivalent.
Both books were most likely not published before 2004ish.
I do know there was a third book going to be released in about 2009-2010ish, I believe to be set in the Middle East.
