For Pathfinder, as mentioned in the comments above, Crossbow Mastery is pretty useful. Otherwise, as far as feats go, you've got 'em covered. The Far Shot feat will turn the -2 range increment penalties into -1, which can be very useful to shoot from long range. Here's where some cheese comes in- when you take a 1-level dip in Rogue with the Sniper Archetype, you gain the Accuracy ability.
I have a rogue right now that I am trying to make a choice for. For flavor reasons, this character uses a crossbow, so please don't tell me to just use a bow instead. I am leaning towards picking up Exotic Proficiency: Heavy Repeating Crossbow, over Rapid Reload (Light Crossbow). The character gets to run and gun either way, but gets a tiny bit of extra damage, plus more in way of range increment. The character will not be played in enough sessions to make crossbow drops in random treasure an issue. On the surface, this looks like a pretty good choice. Is there something I am missing here? Also, I was going to pick up Crossbow Sniper. Is this a good feat to pick up, or are there better ways to increase my crossbow-ness? edit: There is little chance of this character being around long enough to have more than one attack per round. Think low levels.

Description
A crossbow bolt used as a melee weapon is treated as a light improvised weapon (–4 penalty on attack rolls) and deals damage as a dagger of its size (crit ×2). Bolts come in a wooden case that holds 10 bolts (or 5, for a repeating crossbow). A bolt that hits its target is destroyed; one that misses has a 50% chance of being destroyed or lost.

Increase total cost for magical enhancement by 40 gp per unit for cold iron ammunition.
Unlike the additional cost, the increase the weapon's hardness and hit points are only gained from its enhancement bonus, not its special abilities.
If the weapon has a magical bonus greater than +5 or a special ability worth more than +5, the weapon is epic. Multiply magic cost by 10.
