Altrough it's white (means it's good for something) it really isn't...

The Hunting Rifle is a fairly rare world drop from approximately level 6-12 mobs excluding Critters. As it is a ranged weapon lower than level 5, you cannot attach a scope to it - the lowest level scope is a Crude Scope for level 5+ weapons and the lowest level weapon you can attach it to is Cadet's Bow, which incindentally is a level 1 weapon, but it's item level is over 5 (6) and therefore one may attach a scope to it. Note, that Cadet's Bow is a unique exception; there are no other weapons until level 5 that you can attach a scope to.

This weapon is fairly good for a level 4 hunter, and when he dings level 5 he will have this gun upgraded by another gun called a Rough Boomstick. An engineer whose skill is 50 or higher can craft these beauties.

This gun is comparable to Ornate Blunderbuss which you can buy from a vendor for 4 silvers 14 copper (without reputation discounts). There are a few small differences between these two guns, and they are damage-related.

Ornate Blunderbuss' damage-range is 7-15 whereas Hunting Rifles' is higher; an astonishing 9-18... however the vendor-counterpart of this weapon is faster 0.5 seconds (half a second) making its damage per second-ratio the same as Hunting Rifles'. From this information we can safely say, that a Hunting Rifle will provide higher crits and individual hits, whereas an Ornate Blunderbuss will deliver smaller damage at a faster rate - the vendor counterpart might be better since at this point you don't have a pet to hold agro with, and with a faster gun you are able to shoot the enemy target longer/more until it reaches you. A faster weapon is always a bonus against casters (in player versus player-action).

When you compare this gun to other alternatives at this level range, you will have the Hornwood Recurve Bow and Ashwood Bow (alliance only) from Bows and the Light Crossbow from crossbows. The clear winner of all these weapons is the Ashwood Bow, but it is harder to obtain since it is a quest-reward from a level 9+ quest called Crown of the Earth. A Hunting Rifle will be a better choice over a Hornwood Recurve Bow and the Light Crossbow, even though they have their advantages too (for example both of them are faster than the Hunting Rifle).

Hunting Rifle is the slowest gun until BKP 2700 "Enforcer" and Silver-plated Shotgun, both weapons are level 21.

EDIT: Note, that this post was written prior to the 4.0 patch which gave hunters their pets at level 1 instead of level 10 through a quest. This fact may cause my statements about the gun to be slightly flawed, but other than that it consists of pure and solid facts of which some are even undisputably true. Now, that you can get your pet the same time you can wear this gun my words about the speed-related issues in comparison to the speed of the beautiful specimens are at risk of causing me to seem like a fool, but please, do not be mistaken. Both guns are rather equal, it is up to you to decide which one you would use - personally, I'd go for the Hunting Rifle as killing is so fast that you cannot really put the speed in a good use there. Arcane Shots are also learned at level 6, so you might find an upgrade before learning that skill.

Upgrades:
Rough Boomstick (level 5, crafted )
Hunting Bow (level 6, world drop)
Skorn's Rifle (level 6, quest obtained from Demon Scarred Cloak )*
* = this quest is for the Horde-faction only.

Here are more options to browse for slightly higher levels (up to level 8).
