I've run this build before, and it works surprisingly well. The M1000 doesn't need a fancy overclock to do great damage, and scout can avoid touching the ground altogether with careful cooldown management!
As a personal preference on the Boomstick, I like to take Auto-Reload with the Special Power if I'm not using the Born Ready perk. Nothing worse than trying to cancel a fall and pulling out an empty gun!
...but it's kind of constraining in that I like to have a little more utility from the Boomstick. Same deal with the Flare Gun's Auto-Reload mod. Born Ready is just too good to pass up.
