hi all, I am an aspiring rifleman, and was hoping for some advice.
I have gone Brawler/Marksman, and have had 'real problems' gaining rifle XP compared to 2h-weapon XP. It takes ages and ages to kill anything with my rifle. I have a ok t-20a, one for range and one for point blank.
It is just a slow grind early on for riflemen? Any thoughts on what is the 'best' rifle for close up work?

you can grind all combat professions from novice to elite master on dantooine
for rifles
start with a cdef, then go to dlt20a then go to spray stick, then stick with the spraystick for a while the speed is uber
do lesser plains bol missions, they apear on the terminals at 1k per mission and you get about 5k xp per mound including babys when grouped that is
once you get rifles 3 and qualify for spray stick, pull quanker missions, get armor/buffs, and set up a point blank area 1 macro..... you can go away and come back in 3-5min and the mission will be complete and you get all those xp
once you get abilities 4 u can use a t21 or dxr6b ie the added speed

thanks dargon,
look out you bols and quankers, here I come!
Can you (or anyone else who has it in memory) please paste and example of the 'Point Blank Area 1 Macro'? I did a quick look and couldnt find it.
Also, instead of creating a new thread, can I ask a few more questions;
q4. The +5 Speed from Master Marksman looks SO important to DPS. Does EVERY rifleman go for this, and would I be silly not to.
This ofc leads to my current character plan. I've done plenty of reading, but not much playing. Any suggestions/thoughts would be most appreciated.
Current plan;
Master Brawler
Master Swordsman
TKA 3/0/0/0
Marksman 4/0/0/0
Master Rifleman
Shoot at em for a bit, then melee when they close in. Mainly PvE, but with a bit of PvP too.
thanks
Edam

to answer one of your new questions about the +5 for speed, i am not a master marksman, i still do well without it. Also wiht the added bonuses from the FS professions, it truly wont matter.

Until you afford rifle speed tapes it is very nice to have (also in newb faq)
