Alternative Ranger Combat Styles

I thought of two alternate Ranger fighting styles...

There was my version of Tooth and Claw which required the Ranger to have at least two different types of natural attacks.
2nd: Multiattack
6th: Improved Natural Attack
11th: Improved Multiattack (from Savage Species).

And a fighting style for firearms, appopriate for pistols and rifles alike, with percussion cap firearms in mind (thus mostly single shot, with 4 bullets for pistols and 2 bullets for rifles at the most usually).
2nd: Rapid Reload
6th: Shot on the Run
11th: Improved Precise Shot
