I can see why they would be useless in their close to medium ranges, but their damage is still unaffected.
So, if a guy somehow works between that disadvantage due to the scopes, he can still use the scout rifle effectively.
Though I do agree with the fusion rifle idea. Pretty good at mid range.

Yea the fusion rifle *almost* hits where the scouts begin to be too close to work well. The only nerfs scouts ever had was to hip firing, so it is pretty bad up close, but yes, doing full damage
