Can you use ranged weapon tricks with overwatch style? Are ranged weapon tricks special kinds of readied attack actions, or are they effects that alter specific readied attack actions?
Hindering Shot
Additional Prerequisite(s): Precise Shot, Snap Shot
You can distract a foe at a crucial moment, making it vulnerable to your allies' abilities.
You can ready an action to make a ranged attack against a foe when an ally forces the foe to attempt a saving throw. If your attack hits the foe and deals damage, the foe takes a –4 penalty on the saving throw that triggered your readied action.
Suppressing Shot
Additional Prerequisite(s): Far Shot, Precise Shot
You can cover an ally's momentary vulnerability.
You can ready an action to make a ranged attack against a foe when it makes an attack of opportunity. If your attack hits and damages the foe, the foe's attack of opportunity automatically misses its target.
Overwatch Style
You have learned to wait until your ranged attacks have the greatest effect.
Prerequisite(s): Precise Shot, Rapid Shot, Weapon Focus with the chosen weapon.
Benefit(s): While using this style, as a full-round action you can ready two ranged attacks with the chosen weapon, each with its own triggering event.
You take a –2 penalty on attack rolls made with these readied actions.
Special: A character with this feat and the weapon training (bows, crossbows, or firearms) class feature can use Overwatch Style with any bow, crossbow, or firearm, respectively, in addition to the chosen weapon.

I want to say both would work.. because both just specify reading an attack... and overwatch specfies reading two attacks.
The only issue i see is possibly because they say "ready an action" and not " ready an attack action" cause it leaves semantics groundwork for problems like Vital Strike and "attack action" (before the faq I mean)
but.. I feel like they should work.
and I want them to work..

I'm not seeing why they wouldn't work together. Two change what you can actually do with a readied action, the third changes how you go about readying an action (or, in this case, two).
While Overwatch specifies that you're readying two ranged attacks, the result of the other two is that you're specifically readying to make a ranged attack. So I'd allow it.
