I'm a new player that's been working toward Master Ranger and Master Creature Handler. And after mucking about in the Marksman profession with Rifles, Pistols and Carbines I've decided I enjoy Rifles best. But with both Ranger and Creature handler maxxed I can only go to the 3rd Tier in one Rifleman skill. I've been leaning toward Sniping for the accuracy in making each shot count and Head Shot 3 while pets tank. Or the speed line for sustained DPS.
Any help with information on what would be a good fit would be appreciated.
Thanks

rifleman is not a profession suited to dabbling.
that said, you have two basic choices-- speed plus AOE, or accuracy..
for pve, and given that you mentioned going CH, i'd go rifle special abilites 3. That gives you some speed mods, and flurryshot2, which is a 4x damage AOE shot. It will work well with a pet tanking for you.
however, that gives you no accuracy bonuses (not a problem if you can go prone at ideal range... again the pet or pets help here). It would not be advisable to PvP with this template at all, as you'll get chewed up.
