Any decent PvP setup will own level 1 missions, anyway - in fact, when I did do missions, i had a web/scram fitted 90% of the time

The second you start equating time spent playing a game with lost time and money is the second you need to ask yourself "Why am I playing?". Seriously |

Yes, those setups are fine. Not much has changed with the Rifter in a long time, because it's just one of those things that's practically perfect. When I was doing lvl 1's as a n00b I used something like this:
2x 250mm Artillery 2x Standard Launcher
1x Cold Gas AB 1x Stasis Web 1x Cap Recharger
1x SAR 1x RCU 1x Overdrive Injector
A friend of mine who had run his early lvl 1's in a blaster Incursus watched me rofl through Worlds Collide and was quite jealous. Some people are of the opinion that 3:1 guns to launchers is preferable to take advantage of the ships bonuses, but I felt that the tradeoff for specialised damage and 100% hit rate was worth a turret.
If you want to get to knife range with an autocannon setup, use 3 AC's and 1 rocket launcher, replace the cap recharger with a medium shield extender, and the RCU/SAR with shield power relays or istabs. You'll have to rely exclusively on your speed tank, though.

3x250s would be kind of hard to fit for a low sp player, but if it fits I'd go for it over 2 launchers. You have quite a nice tracking bonus on it and will hit pretty much anything as long as you stick with an AB and not MWD (+30% tracking at frig 4).
It is really an AC boat tbh. Great tracking, good agility and fast enough to close in and dictate range in seconds, even with a plain t1 AB.
"Cookie Cutter" pve rifter goes something like:
3x 150s (upgrade/downgrade as needed to fit, not much difference either way)
1 rocket
1 medium extender
1 small extender
1 AB
1 gyro
1 PDS
1 nanofiber (SPR if it fits, but the recent change in cpu may have made it impossible without Electronics 5 and decent weapon upgrades skill)

For mission running, you might also consider giving the Breacher a chance. It's a solid little damage dealer and its speed and range ensures that nothing in any lvl1 mission will get close enough to even touch you. Here's my old setup; everything just fits with engineering 4.
3 standard missile launchers
280mm howitzer
small shield extender II (or maybe a small booster instead)
overdrive injector
micro auxilliary power core (might need to train up a bit for this)
