The late Finn Aagard made about similar comments on scout scopes as youi have, advising that his old Weaver k-3 or a low powered variable allowed him to see and define things better than a scout rig he was testing, withoiut giving up any speed. I can't remember what scout scope he was using, but it was long enough ago that it may have been a Burris, which was all there was for awhile.
I think Cooper even stated once in print that a Rem 7 w/ a tidy scope could do much what his early scouts could, but just not as well, or words to that effect.
One thing, with the scope forward, a scout sure carries easily in a one hand trail carry grip at the side while walking.
