I think you can get to 100 by taking Master Marksman but I'd have to look that up. (Rifle speed tapes/attachments would increase that but the hard cap is currently 1 sec per shot) The 125 number is, I believe, the cap on the defensive modifier that was added to prevent templates that became unhittable in combat. Rifleman was one part of one of those templates that were just too over powered without the defensive cap.
I'm sure there are other riflemen who could answer that question better than I can. But that is my understanding.

I didn't say the cap was 97. My understanding is that the top speed in Rifle is 95 at master and you can get to 100 in Master Marksman which pretty much caps your speed at 1 sec per shot. But again..I'm sure that there are guys here who can give you concrete numbers.

Thanx to you both for helping us out for the six weeks we've been without a Correspondent. Hopefully it will be soon so the new Correspondent can get up to speed prior to getting the Combat revamp dumped on them.
The one major concern so far has been some AoE issues since the last publish. They've been listed before but just as a reminder, here they are.
Since Publish 9 AoE seems to be a bit buggy. Targets will show in combat spam to be taking damage however they do not actually take damage if they are not the primary target. This seems to occur on occassion but not always. Also if a target is in melee range there are times that even though it is in the AoE cone, it does not take damage. This is a major bug for Rifleman since a number of our more popular attacks are AoE attacks.
As for the other question asked in here about speed. As a Master Rifleman you will have +90 speed. If you get Master Marksman you will get an additional +5. This means you will have a speed of 10% (only Master Rifle) or 5% (plus Master Marksman) of the weapons listed speed. The biggest delay mod in Rifleman is 3.5X for StrafeShot2. The general consensus is that you will pretty much be capped out with most weapons at +97. But it will depend on the base speed of the weapon.
If you have only Master Rifle (+90) you will cap weapons with speeds of 2.9 or less. With Master Marksman (+95) you cap at speeds of 5.7 or less. With +97 you cap at base speeds of 9.52 or less, which should cover evena mediocre speed T21.
Since the speed mod is a percent reduction, there is no reason to bother with anything over 100%. For at 100% reduction you will be able to use any special and weapon at the cap. Which is why TKA's are so fast and at Master can use any special at the cap.
