Are scout type rifles ok for hunting whitetail?
Sure, why not?
The only thing that makes it a scout rifle is the barrel length and the scope position. So as long as the caliber will put down what your trying the kill, its no different than any other rifle.
Light weight too. To me a scout is a general purpose, or all-purpose, bolt gun. Light weight, all-weather, detachable mag, medium range and quick target acquisition. After seeing the Hickok45 video above, I think I still like the Ruger better. JMO

Talk to me more about the scope position. The scope on the scout is more forward facing? Can you still attach regular optics in the standard position?
You would need a rail or mount over the action, but then again why bother with a scout in the first place.

Yes. That is WHY it is called a "SCOUT" Only scout scopes are in that position and called thus.
