Thanks, all, for the the suggestions. In response to a couple of similar comments, what I have in mind is certainly not very different from a scout rifle, but since definitions vary one what exactly that means, I am not calling it that. In this case, I don't need stripper clip loading or a magazine capacity greater than 4+1--I have several WWII surplus bolt-action and semi-auto battle rifles in other calibers.
What I am really looking for here is a lightweight, compact carbine with good fixed sights for flexibility and to backup the scope. For me that means a QD mount or maybe see-through rings, though with the latter the scope might be too high for comfort. A scout scope mount is an option, but I have no strong feelings either way.
