"Is it or is it not legal to sell a rifle to an individual from another state without going through an FFL if it is a face to face transaction? I know pistols can not be sold without an FFL "'

ALL firearm sales between residents of different states MUST go through an FFL.

For a long gun an FFL in either state can complete the sale (though some states are onerous enough only a resident FFL is likely to cooperate).

A handgun must go through an FFL in the buyers state.
You can ship it (common carrier) or deliver it to the FFL.

Watch out for restrictive state laws if you go the personal delivery rout to an out of state FFL.
There must be NO laws preventing you from having the gun in your possession in the other state.
