At the moment I am going as soon as I cap my rifle points, but thats only 40k force xp and seems like a long way to go. I am no way near capping my combat xp should I wait till I cap it? But then I am missing out on the rifle points...
Well what do you do?

You should be capping pistol at 1.2 mil, carbine at 900k, and rifle at 900k. By that time, you'll have plenty of combat xp to convert too.

Exactly, also, if you wanted a bit more exp, you could cap unarmed, 1h, 2h, and polearms at 200k each, not much by themsleves, but added up that's another 800k of exp. With the way weapons are set up now, you just need to have whatever CL the weapons have to use them, melee or ranged. Many don't have specific skills tied to them, so it's a good way to make that little bit of extra exp each time.

With my template I can cap rifles, pistols, carbines, unarmed, one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, polearms, combat, and scout. Granted that unarmed and rifles are the only thing that cap at 1.2 mil. That still is alot of xp that I can take to the villiage to convert every time. More xp i have to take to convert = less trips to the village. I am not in any real hurry to unlock either. The longer it takes the more i continue to learn about the game and my character.

This should work fine but it is still a long way to go

True, but it worked out for me ideally. It took me about 3-4 hours to cap these with a decent group, which is about my tolerance for grinding anyway. After that i'd wanna cash in at the village just so i can start the next day fresh. It is nice to know that if you are in that perfect uber group where you're racing just to get one hit in, that once you cap your high xp guns it's still worthwhile to have a decent pike in your inventory and cap melee as well. Seems like its getting harder and harder to get in an uber group though.

As other's have already pointed out you have a lot of weapon xp that you can grind out before going to the village to trade in if you so choose. Your template is very similar to mine in that I'm a master carbineer instead of master rifleman so we have roughly the same amount of weapon xp that we can go to the village with. I don't make a run until I get 900k of both pistol and rifle xp and 1.2 million carbine xp. By the time I reach that magic 3 million weapon xp mark I've raked in 300k of combat xp too and that's usually when I do my run.
As for caping your combat xp, my response would be not to bother if you're already capped on weapons. You never know when you might be in a furball and need to whip out "the pacifier". Better to get some weapon AND combatxp for that. Having said that, I have a great guild that indulges my use of grenades and we're working on a system where all the hunting party members can go out with 'nades and get a lot more combat xp to make the grind go that much faster. In those guild groups, if I'm capped on weapon xp, I just switch to grenades untilwe finish all our missions and then I'd do a village run. But if I were out in a pickup hunt group and found myself capped on weapon xp, I'm going to leave the group and go cash in. Mostly due to the fact that pickup groups are too disorganized to actually use grenades effectively (there are obviously exceptions to the rule). Pickup groups are all about getting as much xp as fast as possible until I can hunt with my guild again.

Well I'm MBH, M Pistoleer, and 0/0/4/0 carbineer, and I cap at 10k for all the melees, 1.2 million for pistols and carbines, 900k for rifles, and I'm not sure what my combat XP cap is, but it's over 350k.
