Pick something you can kill before it charges you, faster kills at your best range are good. If you need Combat XP, pick it up another way if that's faster.

Also try Giant Sand Bettles on Tatooine, they are near max XP and go down fairly fast, they usually spawn 1 to 2 cycles after a krayt, or they are just found in the grave yard, the other day i found a spawn (no lair) that i milked for a full buff session, it was beautiful
Also instead of the Quenker lair try Hurrton Huntress Lairs

Also get a droid/pet to group with. You get an XP bonus. They don't have to do any fighting and I would just leave them some where out of the way like near a mission terminal or starport.

Why not go to the Sennex Cave on Tat? The one from the Hero of Tat Moisture Farmer Quest.... I got a lot of rifle xp in there and the loot's not too bad either! Quick respawn time, good xp per kill = Master in no time!

Gurks. I went hunting with a friend who needed CH xp. He had two gaping spiders poisoning everything, he was tanking (TKA), and I stood back and blasted away. (I used flushing shot 2 a lot, plus head shots when appropriate.) We both got great xp, a ton of lokian animal bone, and it was fun-- didn't feel like grinding at all. After a buff session, he'd gotten about 160k CH xp, while I had racked up over 900k rifle xp. A truly productive hunt.
Oh, I used a dxr-6b for the majority of the hunt. If I remember right, only the gurk whelps have special protection against acid, and their resists aren't terribly high.

Just take at the time you get your second tree finished -> huurton stalkers 9.9k or 11.xk missions Dantooine, mastered rifle in 4 buffsessions this way. Dont forget to milk the lair and /pointblankArea1 + a speedsliced t21 w/ speedpowerup is your friend.

I've been getting a ton of xp at the Temple of the Blue Leaf POI on Yavin4. There are dark kliknicks that spawn there and give 3000-5000xp per kill. Using a speed sliced T21 and33% speed pupand citros snow cake I had no problems hitting them... I can make a million xp in a buff session there easy. Been working on rifleman for two days and I am almost done.

Ya'll probly wouldn't expect it, but down inside the geo caves there are these beetles that spawn. Easy with a DXR and they give some of the best xp. Was doin savage quenkers for a long time till I found these. They made master much easier. There is a spot where you're in a cave section past that room where all the jedi grind that the beetles spawn in. So yah, gl

I read all your methods and stories of CRAZY xp......i just cant seem to repeat this stuff. I've done the /PBA1 while targeting the lair with a speed sliced T21, sure i hit 100%, but then after everything is dead, it takes me 20 f#cking minutes to kill the lair (well, it used to now i have /flush2, so it takes like 5minutes)..... I went to the sennex cave tonight unbuffed just to check it out, and the mobs/npcs spawn FAST. so i may go back buffed up.
i don't know, Rifleman has been a STRUGGLE for me personally. I have fun against NPCs, ie. imp missions, but the grinding and fighting animals is terrible. with no melee defense, i get my arse whipped, yeah even buffed. When i see my best friend lay waste to Ancient Rancors with his powerhammer in less than a minute, it's just depressing.
but the grenade trick works. i just need 120k more xp
DONT kill the lair, this might not have been mentioned but just kill all the spawns then drop the mission it is much faster to just kill the spawns and move on, if u really need the money then finish the missions but it aint worth the time
