Scout rifle for our current times

Remington used to produce a semi in .243 just a few years ago, looking like it was strongly inspired by the AR-15, that could have served both roles of a big game and a battle rifle, I guess, if it was reliable. Never saw one except on the Internet, can't remember the name it was given by the marketing department.
Remington R-25, basically an AR-10 in very nice Mossy Oak camo, and available in .243, 7mm-08, and .308. I don’t know about the early ones, but the later ones were based on the DPMS “Gen II” and were very nice rifles. One was on my wishlist for a while, until Remington went kaput and they stopped making them.
 
The whole scout concept by Cooper is conflicted. A light, all purpose hunting rifle for any NA game. Quick and potent in a .308 caliber. Accurate enough for at least several hundred yards and reliable. Okay, sounds good. Then he goes and throws in the ability to engage the enemy! What enemy might I encounter while scouting out a good deer hunting location? Foolishness. I do like forward mounted scopes on some rifles.
