Not what you want to hear, but just buy a decent 2-7X scope and mount it conventionally. You will be better off for any shooting situation either close and fast or long range precision.

Having now owned a Remington 600 308 set up using the scout concept for over six years I have to agree. Additionally, forward scope mounting makes you more susceptible to issues at first light and at dusk (when, in my experience, you are most likely to shoot at game).
If however you want to set up the Ruger in the scout configuration I can highly recommend the Burris scout scope. I know the Leupold is an exception scope also.
I am currently putting together my replacement for my scout rifle and am going with the Leupold VXIII 2.5 X 8 this time.
