If a jedi is a master defender, then donb't count on ay shot sticking, don't ever get yourself into a position where you need a shot to stick against jedi, having said that, pistoleer has some ver nice moves like intimidate that help against jedi.

I dont have any advice on adv stopping shot, but i have some tmeplate advice
(I have been MANY templates since CU, and havnt respec'd once, i just enjoy grinding ) all of my tips howver are for PvPyour template right now isnt great, a master rifle is VERY hindered when alone as a ranged mastery. ATM (just finished) I am MP/MCM/0440 carbines, which is very close to your current. Rifleman has very few PvP abilities other than knee-cap and headshot now, both of which are redundant to leg + crippling shot/elec drain. pistoleer would be your way to go. The template I have is VERRRRRRY effective, loads of states, tons of heals, high defense, spamable massive dmg without action hinderance etc etc. Judging by the rifleman I have fought (With your template) you are very weak in many areas. as I said, a rifleman as a single ranged mastery is very weak.
your projected tempalte is also one ive tried. It works GREAT, although i found myself using that dreaded rifle, (I always love my pistols) I found it to be great. Body + Head shot are great combos. One change I made and would suggest to you, however, is in the CM part. To me, 4040 CM is very much overpowering a 4004 CM. Hemorrage makes your opponent unable to attack back due to action "rapeage" which is better than a slow attacking opponent
For the most part, always have a large bank account behind your templates to gain the upperhand.these are just my pointers on tempalte advice, and remember its for PvP only.. if these are for PvE then the 4004 CM will be much better. either way, the second tempalte will be your greatest choice (IMO its easily 50% more powerful than your current one) unless you sub in your current rifle mastery for pistol mastery, then itll be better......
my thoughts are kinda all over the place, hope u can decipher em and/or use em

thanks for the tips, guess I will give that template a shot, not like it takes long to retemplate these days anyway... I'd like to keep using rifles only cus I was master pistol/master smuggler/bh (yes eyeshot spammer)for over ayear beforeIbecameJedi, dunno about 0404 cm though only cus the snare in xxx4 is so brutal as is the speed debuff... I'll have to think about it.

In case you didn't get it from Chardin's post, "Rifleman is very weak."

what are you trying to kill?
If the answer is Jedi or anything really high-end, then "Yes" is the answer.
Simply because difference between the time Advanced Stopping Shot holds a target and the time it can be used again is like 5 seconds or so.
