Yeah but I'd not recommend them personally. I just started rifleman today, and got rifles 1-4 since this morning, as well as novice rifleman, and about 80-90k into my first skill. I did a lot of hunting this morning on Dath with a handful of groups. First off, if there are more than 1-2 meleers in the group, you're screwed for XP. Count on 200-500XP max per Ranc. Otherwise figure about 1-1.5k or as much as 2k per ranc. And even then most of the time I got less than 1k, which just doesn't stack up when Savage Quenkers give 3100 XP.

There are ALWAYS groups forming to hunt on Dath.

stand up to run and use the terrain if you have scout terrain negotiation. most things can be outrun by using hills and valley walls.

Don't even bother with the quenkers. You can make xp a lot faster, and a lot funner doing rancors or some other group mob.

I would suggest exactly what others have suggested. Prone 60m not 50..... 60m is our best Modifier and u'll get most damage this way. Do headshots you should get at least 2 while prone before they find you at your skill level...... (you are trying to level up to novice i see you wrote) so you dont have conceal....forget what that other person suggested about using that.
If you get agroed.....use warning shot as one suggested to makethem go away. IT's a MUST that you have some ubese kenetic armor 65% or higher..... (or composite sliced for 80%, but theHAM costwill hurt you a bit with the comp.). This will take serious damage points away from the quenkers knocking their hits down to 19-28 points of damage instead of 140-150.
Pre patch i woulda suggested Moun Gold as a must.........but now we have Vasarian Brandy........LEARN to love this stuff if you wanna be a rifleman.
I would also suggest u dont use a helmet so your mind regens ASAP.
Have fun and i hope this can help.
