Bothan has a +10 to Cover and a +15 to Camouflage.
Human is best at Artisan and Squad Leader.
Ithorian is best at Shipwright, has some defenses and even a Creauture Taming Bonus.
Mon Calamri has a Anti-Surprise-shot bonus, plus structure and weapon assembly bonus.
Rodian has Anti-Blind, better Accuracy for Two- and One-handed and Weapon Assembly bonus.
Sullustan also makes good shipwrights plus have some scout harvesting bonuses.
Trandoshan makes the best TKA as they have Damage, speed and accuracy bonuses - they also makes good Creature Handlers.
Twi'Lek is the ultimate entertainers.
Wookie has some scout, ranger and creature handler bonuses.
Zabrak has some good defenses plus the the ability to use Equiliburuim (which can rescue you in a tight situation).
So your best choice would be either;
Bothan - Ihtorian - Roidan - Zabrak.
According the defenses, the Zabrak or Ithorian would make the best bet.

While these bonuses are correct and sometimes useful they will never (or at least not until the CU/R/B) outweight the ability for humans to migrate all their stats to mind. This is true for all combat prof but even more so for riflemans as we use our mind so much. Only race that has anything that could perhaps compete with this ability is the Zabrak and their Equiliburuim but I still say human is better.
BUT, just because humans make the "best" riflemen does not mean they are the most fun to play. Any race can be any proffession, you will just have to work a bit harder but this extra work can acctually make the game more fun.

Human and Zabrak are the best, I would say. I'm a human Rifleman, and with just brandy, ahrsia, and a mind migration, my bars never move. All I can say is that I know people who selected other races for Riflemen and weren't happy in the long run. But, any race can be a Rifleman thanks to food and buffs, so choose what's fun for you. This all may change in the CURB though...not to discourage you or anything, but...just a word of advice.

I would say any species is capable of being a rifleman very effectively - I haven't heard complaints in many many months about viablilty. That being said - unfortunately Humans are probably best over all.
I prefer Mon Cal - the best race ever - only problem is that silly imperial hate thing for faction items T_T
Min and Max table for stats (notice that it is human then mon cal then wookiee as top three types that work well as riflebeings)

Well, tbh ill have to say Human or Zabrak, they can both have very high mind and wear pretty much any item, I like playing as a Twi'Lek though

Iths hit 2600 mind with a 100% mind buff before brandy 
But not very good secondaries... but my Ith is a rifleman, and with mind buffs/brandies/ahrisa, its not so bad

a pure rifleman, human is probably the best.
If you plan on templated a rifleman build however, I think zabrack is the best. I have a guy with fencer 4/4/4/0 pistoleer 0/0/4/0 master riflman scout 1/0/0/0 medic 0/0/4/0 with BE stun clothing, he is evil. I am thinking about mastering fencer, getting some melee def and dodge tapes to cap him at +125. Then I'm going to take him jebi hunting.

I'm a Wookiee rifleman... I'd go with your favorite race. The race advantages are minimal at best compared to how you feel inside when you choose a race you like =)
