(Deadly Precision and Telling Blow are not fighter feats.)If you take Point Blank Shot, you'd then qualify for quite a few ranged feats you can aquire via Heroics.Also, Sniper's Shot (wiz/sor 1, CAd 157) is a good spell for making a sneak attack from any distance with weapon or spell, and its a swift action to cast.    Guided Shot (sor/wiz 1, CAd 150, swift action casting) may also help you remove penalties from cover or distance.</blockquote>
