It's not really a bug, although it is inconsistent with other ARs. I would like the Scout to be in a "marksman weapon" classification or something, but then it'd be the only one and that's not really great, so for now it'll just have some inconsistencies with typical AR stats. The scout is still supposed to have some tradeoffs considering its long range, and it it really didn't need a buff to be stronger in gunfights, so we didn't update it to have faster ADS movespeed. Intentional, but admittedly inconsistent. Sorry!
