I just yesterday sighted-in a Scout rifle built on a Chilean Modelo 1912 (Steyr-built Mauser '98 action).
The rifle was arsenal-converted to 7.62 NATO, and retains the stripper-clip guide for fast reloading of the five-round internal mag.
An Ashley Outdoors Scout scope mount was employed, along with a Burris 2.75x Scout Scope bought at substantial savings as a re-furb from Natchez Shooter's Supply.
The action was bedded-in to a Ram-Line composite stock, and a home-made Ching Sling with appropriate attachment points was installed.
The original front sight was augmented with a mil-surp hood, and a Lyman receiver sight, with quick-detach and return-to-zero feature was installed as a backup sight.  While the main aperture does good service as a "Ghost-Ring" rear sight, target apertures can, of course, be installed.
A Timney trigger assy was added, and adjusted to about 4#.  The entire rifle was then bead-blasted and parked.
Using the original excellent condition mil spec bbl, the rifle shot into 2" with Irons, and within 1-1/2" with scope, using milsurp SA ball ammo at 100 yds, sitting position, no sling employed, Ghost Ring rear aperture.
I suspect that better ammo would improve the groups somewhat, and I'll investigate.
As someone who has had some small experience with Scout rifles, at this time I would not buy the Steyr. There are reliable reports of about 30% of the rifles coming through with failure to fire problems, which, given the construction of the action, are somewhat difficult to fix.  Also a problem is the intermittent (at least in the recent past) availability of spare parts from Steyr, who has had to move their production facilities and whose distribution network, in this country at least, has been spotty recently.  These things may or may not be remedied, but the very high price remains as a deterrent.
IMHO, if one cannot or will not build their own, then the Savage Scout rifle is a good point of departure; will ultimately cost far less than the Steyr, and yield a product very nearly as good as the Steyr (and better if the Savage goes >BOOM< reliably and the Steyr does not).

The Steyr doesn't have a stripper clip guide, relying instead on its detachable mags (either 5- or 10-rd capacity.  The 3-rd mag Savage also does not have a stripper clip guide, but its limited mag capacity is, IMHO, a weakness for any other purpose than game hunting.  Perhaps a stripper clip quide could be machined into the receiver, as was done with bolt action Match rifles of other manufacture, or a bolt on guide (a la the M-14) could be affixed.
