You would need a scout scope. Pistol scopes need more eye relief than that. Red dots work too.I like the Rugers rail system for a full size scope if wanted
The Savge's scout rifle has a forward mounted optics rail that might need a pistol scope to work for the eye relief
I need to look at that closer
There are standard rails available too. I believe the XS system removes the rear sight but has its own. These allow use of a regular rifle scope.
