No to use a scope conventional on a Savage Scout you'll have to remove the rear sight. The rear sight mounts to the same holes any scope base would mount to. There isn't enough space on the rear ring of the receiver to mount a scope base with the rear sight.

Burris does make a two piece picitinny mounts for Savage and I'm sure others do as well, but I own the Burris. You could possibly find a new rear sight that'll mount to the rail. Then with Quick release rings you can swap back and forth between an aperture rear sight and a scope. However, there will not be room to mount both aperture sight and scope at the same time.
