I’ve owned both. I like my Ruger Scout better. And I have my scope mounted in the “conventional” spot. Over the ejection port.

I did have the privilege of selling Col. Jeff Cooper a Steyr Scout in .376 Steyr back when I worked in the Wholesale Firearms Industry.
I was shocked find out that Steyr didn’t gift him one.
