I was wondering what kind of weapons (please include rough stats), armor, chef foods and special tactics you big game hunters use to solo krayts. Anything you could share would be most helpful. Thanks!

Well I'm not a Rifleman but I have several friends who are, and they use T21 for the heavy AP and the stats are around 650 (not sure how good this is but he also uses a 715 when someone is trying KS us) and he uses standard 80% kin comp armor. As far as food goes he uses 2 brandy's and some ahrisa probably two and he uses either adv strifing shot or mind shot. Hope this helps

One I saw someone doing a while ago was running two accounts. One is a rifle/whatever the other was squad leader. The second account would run a retreat marco over and over so the krayt could enver catch the rifleman.
Normal 80 kinetic armor brandy andmind buffs are good. ahrisa if you don't have them. T21 is heavy AP so is best for krayt. Will also lwoer their overall resistance eventually.

canyons I use:
2 brandy, 1 arisha.
1 level 65 melee cat, with about 15k ham
stim d
pet stim c
normal ole t-21 with a decent damage slice, and pu
riffle acc stim
speed clothing on
some decent armor, anythign above 70% comp work fine to take a few hits.
Send in pet, set up pet on krayt, sit 7 meters behind pet, heal pet with stim d and pet stim c, and mind shot and bleed the krayt. Takes about 15 minutes.
the end.

I'm a speed capped rifleman. I use a 540dmg T21 and composite armor that's 5% stun, 80% elect, 88-90% base. I use 2500ish buffs and full mind buffs, although I can get by just fine without the mind buffs (substitute a double dose of brandy and one ahrisa).
From the start I spam about intimidate about 10 times. Then I have a looping macro that spams /strafeshot2 8 times and /intimitate1 once. Once I start that macro I can do other things - tab over to the forums, get something to eat, etc. Occasionally I may need to heal. If anybody else shows up and tries to killsteal I switch to a different macro that spams /strafeshot2 without /intimidate, and I add a powerup. Takes 12-15 mins to bring down a canyon krayt with this technique. I made 40 million over the weekend selling pearls 
I used to use master headshot, but I found that strafe2 is just as fast and increases your chance of getting loot rights in case somebody comes in and tries to killsteal.

I use a 538 max dmg T-21 and put a max/min powerup on to get max dmg over 710. I use 2500 power buffs and full mind buffs also. Then I take 2 brandy to get me over 1.5k focus and add Canape to get my mind recharge rate further up. Then I start SS2 on the dragon and try to kite it.
I use my master doc skills to keep me alive if the dragon decides to tank me, I dont have any melee profession and therefore no melee defenses. At some point most dragons decide to start walking, though, and use their ranged attack, and thats the point where I just circle them, keeping them at 30m to 60m from me spamming SS2, and in 99% of all cases they miss me with their ranged attack.
But then again, I havent soloed krayts in the graveyard, Ive heard other people getting 8 krayts aggroed by using area attacks, maybe HS3 should be substituted for SS2

Intimidate is a key word. Without intimidate you are done in less than a minute no matter what armor u got. I got no intimidate and no stim Ds, i am MBH/MR so if you got no melee skills dont try doing it.

Intimidate is good to have, but you don't need it to take out a krayt from what I've read by many Riflemen on the forums who have soloed krayts before.

correct - but you will need some of either great terrain negotiation mods and parwan cake (great for longer more often burst run - check chef forums) or some medic skills and some terrain negotiation. Asa MBH you have fairly decent terrain negotiation so I suggest getting some parwan cake and away you go.
