All the veterans have gone (either through quitting or through bans) or are on their way out... that should tell you something right there.
And you are a Jedi, so you get no pie.
But you asked nicely so I will give an answer. Truthfully it all depends on your preference, pistols are good as it is already what a smuggler uses and it adds even more to your crowd control abilities with roots and delays. Carbine is great all around and fits well with any ranged template, plus it would give you certs for battle armor... great for when you are hunting critters... as opposed to the kinetic-deficient recon armor. Rifle is nice for it's damage output and when combined with the smuggler mezzes, makes a great long range soloist.

No, all Jedi are inherently evil...and smelly. They are responsible for much of the Smugglers' suffering. All Jedi discovered on these forums will be taunted, flamed and become a target for rotten fruit.
Absolutely no pie for the jedi.

If you can count to ten whileslicing a pistol AND crafting some Booster Blue at the same time, you can have pie.

Shhhttt! This way, quick! *grab Jedi_Farmboy and duck in a dark alley*
What are you trying to do farmboy, get flamed?? With the huge issue there was over Jedi taking Smugglers skills to use FD to avoid BHs, "Jedi with Smuggler" is a risky thing to identify as, unless you are already known here.
Here is some pie and beer.
I agree with Jaim advice btw, which ranged prof you choose depend a lot on what you enjoy. I kinda like pistols, but it is a personal choice.
Edit: Mmm I guess I was a weee bit too slow eh?

rflmao I am too much furry to walk around with a flamethrower on my back anyway. Think about the risks.
Seriously I judge people by their posts, not their profession.
Just decided to have fun with the situation. lol A small RP thrill.

You really want to make points with us? drop all the Jedi tags and change everything to Smuggler, or soon to be Smuggler. You know, change your sig to something like "Reformed Former Smelly Jedi, now a cool Novice Smuggler" or sumthin like that.

I want at least one ranged mastery under my belt to complement master smuggler, but ive realised i don't have a clue as t how things work these days in terms of ranged proffesions.
Rifles still the way to go? Or would pistols be a betetr choice to combine with smuggler? Does carbines offer any advantage over the other two?
As always, your help would be much appreciated. And i could probably rummage up some....dare i say it......pie.

I've done every single ranged combat profession with smuggler and I can tell you that smuggler with..
a) BH is very powerful but not as powerful and tank-worthy as BHwith any other elite ranged combat prof, but healing will be an afterthought
b) Carbineer is pretty powerful and well balanced, a lot of DD (direct damage) andsnares suppliment smuggler mesmerizes nicely
c) Pistoleer is fairly weak, although relatively good for crowd control and debuffs
d) Rifleman is very powerful, although you will take a hell of a lot of damage as defense lacks
e) Commando is okay, granting the smuggler some good AE damage (great for mesmerize) and enough skill points left over to invest in some combat medic.
Of all of those, I liked A, B, and E the best, in no particular order.

JEDI GO HOME!!!!
/lol
J/K, man... someone had to say it. 
For the record, I'm smuggler/pistoleer... like it. Usually I hunt and adventure with a rifleman, we complement each other well.
