For aggressive scout, either the SMLE or the Gewehr M.95. The SMLE is nice because it has a 40-75 meter OHK sweetspot, but most aggressive play happens within 40 meters though. The Gewehr M.95 doesn’t have a OHK sweetspot (it only OHKs on a headshot), but the major advantage it has is it’s fire rate due to its straight pull bolt. The straight pull bolt also means you don’t need to leave ADS in between every shot to cock the bolt.

Another option would be the Russian 1895 Trench. It’s got around double the fire rate of any of scout rifles (experimental excluded). However, it only does 40-80 damage depending on the range and it will not one hit kill headshot beyond 26 meters.
