Stay out of their range until you stick a /startleshot.
This will buy you time to close in and /paralyze.
Next -> Electrolyte drain (this is PARAMOUNT)
If you have time, stick another state on them (I usually toss on a /shock for non-healer, and a /traumatize for healer - but with only xxx4 CM you won't have that) - or just use the extra couple of seconds to make sure you distance yourself out of saber throw range.
On top of the drain, now that you're distancing yourself, stick a /kneecap shot on as soon as the paralyze breaks.
You can now kite him all day well out of his range, tossing in the occasional KD to keep him distanced in case he uses any of his keen tricks to try to minimize the snares (force speed + FR 2 or somesuch, but not all jedi will have that - and most of those that do won't think to combine them when in this situation).
Plus you get the added bonus of having pwnt them without chaining /startle /disarming /concussion, etc.

The I-win button for killing jedi as a riflemen is to just spam startleshot, jedi can't fight back hell noone can fight back just sit there and wait to die or you can just use the above tactics for a nice fun challenge.

Assuming the Jedi is, of course, dumb enough to sit there in the open and let it happen.
I've heard rumours of Jedi who actually *get this, it's the clever bit*, moved behind a tree, rock, building, ridgeline to break line of sight for that critical second or so that it takes to stall the rifleman so that the Jedi can use abilities again. Contrary to the popular belief that one startleshot will delay you for a tenday, it's actually closer to about 4-5 seconds. And does very little damage. All it takes is breaking that line of sight for 1-2 seconds so you can cloak / forcerun / whatever else it takes.
But again, that's probably asking an awful lot.
Oh yeah, and /startleshot (like any state effect) doesn't have a 100% stick rate.

but its fun to use and watch people freak out with it and in my experience it very close to 100%

This will not work in a very short period of time. A post daze state is being introduced that will not allow delays to be spammed.

I am a /cover sniper Jedi killer. I like to /cover and creep from 257M out. I wait for a clear LOS and open with a snipershot. I stand up and alt Critical Shot and Head Shot. I will throw in a root and kd as needed. If I now that they are a cloaker I will try to put a bleed on them ASAP.
For the Jedi that likes to group with the /offerride gangs I have used /cover and conceal shot to milk thier lair before I hit the Jedi. Usually the spawns keep the friends busy while I engage my mark.

hint:
turn off Radial flora at all ranges - it helps immensely when you are using snipershot and conceal shot

No way, it makes you look cool, like a sniper hiding out in the weeds
