Well, I think I may have finally figured out what I'm going to do with my Ranger. Anyone that wants to lend a hand by giving their opinion of these... I would be most grateful to you.
Master Ranger/Rifleman 4/4/0/4/CreatureHandler 0/3/4/0
Again any opinion would be most appreciated.
Master Ranger is already a given... I won't be changing that because that's the character I really want to play... it's the other nuances that may change depending of your feedback.

If you're taking concealment line for the concealshot the you will probably be better off putting those points in CH for tougher tanks but looks good overall.

CH...ick.
Why not master rifleman? The MRs will tell you there is a vast difference from what you have now to what you will have at the master level.
If you want CH for the tanks, try some of the new droids. 0 - that is zero- skill points to use, they tank well (mine has 4k ham), and not only does it shoot, it has an electrical attack. Droids cost little more cash/time to run than pets, and in my experience, are easier to find. And even I can repair them quickly.
Personally, I would try and Master rifles. You could also master CH and get more and better pets if that is what you really want. I think dabbling is a semi waste of points. Get the 3d master and see if it helps. If not, then drop it and try the other. If neither work for your style of play, mess with other combos.

For some reason droids just don't fit with my ideas of what a Ranger is... anyway, I want to use creature mounts instead of vehicles and I want them to be able to help out in a fight as well.
And as far as the "dabbling" is concerned... My goal really isn't to build the "uber" character... I want to play one that is fun for me to role-play...
I did struggle with going master rifleman for quite a while and I just finally decided that I needed to make sure what I was going to play was something I would have fun with for a long time. So I needed to fill out my characters persona a little more.

Maybe take Master Ranger/Master Rifleman/CH up to 3 in one tree. This gives you the ability to use a CL 19 pet (quite nice, especially if you get a BE one--ask Fred about his mount). The Master Rifleman really increases your ability to kill. Getting more CH can be fun but it can limit your effectiveness when hunting. This "template" gives you a lot of hunting power while still letting you have a nice pet to help you out. But it's really up to what you want.

I made a screw up last night... I purchased a pet... a Carrion Spat. Another player had one and told me that anyone can use one... so I went out and bought one for 8000 and only then found out that it was JUSTa pet and NOT a mount...AND that I couldn't use it of course.
How do I tell what is a "Mount" and what is a "pet"? AND how do I tell what I can use and what I can't?
I seem to remember hearing that people that don't have CH yet can only use mounts up to CL 10. This true? And how do I tell which are "mountable" and which are not? Do I have to purchase the "tack" (saddle" and such after purchasing a mount or does it come with it?
Thanks for all the advice guys.

Mounts are pets that have been trained by a CH to be a mount (you need someone with enough CH to have the mount skill). The pet needs to grow a bit before it can be turned into a mount. As for what you can use, anyone can use a pet up to CL 10. When you get CH, you will have a max level of pets mod (like +19 at CH 0/0/0/3) that means you can use a pet up to CL (size of mod). As for the mountable pets, I believe they currently are: Bantha, Bol, Carrion Spat, Cupa, Dewback, and Kaadu.
