Of course he can, if you read the paragraph where optical targeting is
described in the RBB (sorry haven't got an RBB with me :) ) you will see
if I remember corectly that optical targeting can be achieved through video
sensors also described as a part of every remote turret. If riggers couldn't
target optically then optical targeting would only be described as an
option for gunners or regular turrets.
