Some guns don’t allow for a normal scope. 

 

Top eject guns can have stovepipes and ejection malfunctions induced by not having a clear ejection path.  This is common in a lot of lever guns but is also found in some mini-14 models and the SKS.

 

Guns that use stripper clips can’t be scoped traditionally either.  The scope will always block the clip’s insertion path.

 

Some rifles, called scout rifles, use a long eye relief scope to keep situational awareness.  Using an after market mount, Specter Arms has converted a lot of hard hitting Mosin Nagants into inexpensive scout rifles.
