If you're rocking a scout rifle, you're going to have to play more cautiously. Hang back, use your teammates as bait and hammer in shots to the heads of your enemies engaging them. Pack a solid back-up weapon like a shotgun (or Plan C, if you've got it) for when someone surprises you at close-range.
If you want a close-range monster, use a handcannon. Scout Rifles are not really that great against guys running Auto Rifles and going for close-quarters, but a solid handcannon can drop them with ease.

Thanks, I prefer close quarters anyways. I'll try this next time I play. :)
