Cobalt bits have been better for me when drilling into hard steel. Not cheep at all, and sometimes difficult to find, but well worth the money when drilling difficult steels. Your local hardware may have them, or a Fastenal, or other industrial supply house.

I've seen RBUISs made from sling swivels set into the cocking piece of the bolt. Quick and dirty, though pretty exposed and jury-riggish.
I'm in a similiar boat; I have a '42 with a crazy offset front sight that is going in a Boyd's thumbhole and losing some barrel. I'd like to keep some irons on there if I can, so the rear sight may stay and I'll do a mount on the receiver instead.
I expect you're looking to do a long eye-relief scope on the rear sight to keep the stripper bridge viable. To accomplish that, the easiest answer is probably mount a short rail and use a sight on that. If the height works, I would imagine a GGG "sling thang" mount would be pretty much GTG.

I thought about drilling and tapping to accept a sling stud and then opening the hole up and using that as a peep sight directly on the receiver.I was gonna get the rail mount that takes place of the original rear sight to hold the scout scope.
This is a great idea! I never thought of a sling mount for a rear!
I would say for your scout scope mount I would suggest the Rock Solid Scout mount. Some of the other mounts are known to work loose pretty quick.
Here is a link to them:

If you are going for a true Scout style you will need to cut the bbl down. What are you going to do for the front sight?

Well one of three things for the front sight:
1. Get one of the replacement sights that are either clamp on or set screw mounted.
2. Line up with my rear sight choice and weld on something similar to a revolver sight blade.
3. Just use one of the Mosin cabinets like an M39 or M44.
As far as the mount goes,I have really been looking at RSI for that.
