I've got 2 788's (.243 and .308) and love them. Actually looking for a .44mag version. A scout mount would not be worth the effort for these rifles. I've got a 3-9x52 Redfield Revenge on my .308 that works well to the 300 yard range. I would not hesitate to put another one on my .243 as well. I do recommend a trigger upgrade. Mostly due to the safety on these rifles will wear out and get weak. I've got Timney's on both and they are very easy to install. Enjoy.
