I was going to suggest the same fit, except with T2 150mm guns (and probably upgrade to low end named stuff for web/repair/etc., since they don't cost much). 200mms go for 750 thousand up to 1 million ISK each. In contrast, the 150s are about 450k each.

It's more important to utilize the Barrage range than trying to rely on a higher damage, so I think the 150s are better for a newer player.

Doh, well of course there is a use: nobody expects a far fitted Rifter! Incursus deals more pain, Vigil goes faster, but Rifter has the element of surprise.

Here is the fit I use when I want to be able to tank and still want the speed to close in fast and tackle. The speed can surprise inty pilots and you can tank like an AF. You need to be very wary of your cap tho…

Micro Auxiliary Power Core I
Small Inefficient Armor Repair Unit

Catalyzed Cold-Gas I Arcjet Thrusters
Stasis Webifier II

I pointed him coming out of cloak at a gate. He popped me just before he died, but mine only cost about 5mil. 8-D

oops… the nos should in fact be a "small unstable power fluctuator" neut. this also allows you to fit an AB II if you wish.

A take on the kiting Rifter:

[Rifter, Kite]
Micro Auxiliary Power Core I
Co-Processor I
Gyrostabilizer II

Phased Monopropellant I Hydrazine Boosters
Faint Warp Disruptor I
Cap Recharger II

280mm Howitzer Artillery II, Republic Fleet Fusion S
280mm Howitzer Artillery II, Republic Fleet Fusion S
280mm Howitzer Artillery II, Republic Fleet Fusion S
'Malkuth' Standard Missile Launcher I, Caldari Navy Flameburst Light Missile

Small Projectile Locus Coordinator I
Small Projectile Collision Accelerator I
Small Ancillary Current Router I

Most of it is filler, since fittings go down really fast with 3 280s and a missile. You can probably work out some kind of compromise for better cost or slot use, but this is the most damaging fit I could come up with. Yes, somehow Fusion ended up doing the most damage at its operational ranges.

I haven't flown this specifically, but it is the same principle as every kiting frigate. Stay beyond 13 km (hot web range), and keep ready to adjust your course and speed to keep things that way. No tank – if you get hit, you're doing it wrong. Attack T1 frigs, crappy cruisers with no drones, or non-combatants and pods. Only close distance with fat things that have nothing to hit you with.

While there are both more damaging and faster moving kites, this setup should work just fine. Maybe its got its own merits somewhere.

I really like this Shield Buffer variation:

[Rifter, Shield Tank Rifter 125mm]
Gyrostabilizer II
Gyrostabilizer II
Overdrive Injector System II

Medium Shield Extender II
1MN Afterburner II
J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I

125mm Gatling AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP S
125mm Gatling AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP S
125mm Gatling AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP S
Rocket Launcher II, Caldari Navy Foxfire Rocket

Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Small Projectile Burst Aerator I
Small Core Defence Field Extender I

With all skills at 5, this yields 151 DPS (175 overloaded), 4257 EHP and 1298 m/s (1699 overloaded). Of course, as any shield tanked rifter, it'll have problems dictating range against webbifyng frigates.

You can downgrade the afterburner, overdrive and rocket launcher hence driving the cost down and without losing too much.

This is my standard general purpose solo PvP fit. Fairly standard.
I like the nos as it gives me a chance (I have yet to succeed of holding and killing a cruiser even if they neut me.
