I'd ditch the XS rail and mount the scope on the reciver with a Weaver base and low Weaver rings.
Ideally I would do that, but I'm one of those poor souls trying to change as little as possible, while using the same gun for different purposes. I often will have a red dot forward mounted for some things, and this scope will be on the gun for a month and come back off for the red dot again.
Been wanting to try the Scout scope thing for some time anyway.
I agree, lose the rail and I could save maybe 1/4" of cheek height.
