The weapon is pistol like the Thompson Contender which has .223 barrels. I have seen average shooters kill wild turkeys with at 200 yards with a TC .223 with a good scope.

After they shoot, the TC goes into a Camel Bak hydration back pack which about 90% of bike riders carry. He/she/it is dressed in normal biking clothes and has a mountain bike. With his Camel Bak, bike helmet and biking clothes he fits no profile of a guy with a long gun and in a white van.

He goes in the opposite direction of the decoy white van to meet their helper. It is a regula looking car with a bike rack. As the biker/sniper approaches, the driver pops the trunk open and the Camel Bak with the TC is put in the trunk and the mountain bike on the rack and locked in. They drive the opposite way of the decoy white van.

Or if the sniper works alone, he just rides his bike away and looks like hundreds of other bike riders.

The only problem with your "decoy vehicle" and "gun in the trunk" scenario is that there is a risk of being seen by random people at or near the scene. As I said earlier on this thread, even the most meticulously planned attack can't possibly account for something as unforeseen as a barking dog, a car broken down in the road on the escape route, etc.

I've tried to explain to people on another site that a TC or XP would be easily concealable in a woman's purse; even with a bipod. A TC with Bipod can be broken down/folded into a small package, and the people I shoot with have competitions to 500 meters. I, of course, provide comic relief instead of competition, but even I do well enough to 200 meters with an open-sighted south-american budget wheelgun.
