The gopro has an aftemarket LCD screen you can buy so you can watch real time what you are shooting, the problem I have is that the lens is offset from center so you wont be able to mount it looking straight down the optic you are using.
however there are some options: a similar setup to what this guy is using but using a contour with the handlebar mount (however you will be unable to use your scope)

Several other cameras come with a piciatny mount as well if that is all you are interested in such as the midland XTC

Secondly the idea that I have been considering is to mount a second optic on the side rail of the rifle, zero it in to be used specifically for the camera to look through while this would add a lot more front end weight to the gun (and probably look goofy with more than one optic mounted on your gun) would probably give a very nice "down the scope" view with one of the adapters from these guys:

Granted you would also probably need a picatiny riser as well to get it to line up properly and or get one and go to a machine shop to have them make you a custom modified piece to fit your needs. I would think it would also be more watchable if you used something like a reflex red dot to get the "down the scope" feel but still be able to have a diecent field of view.
When watching most airsoft videos with a single camera I fond that no matter where they have the camera positioned at some point usually in a firefight the camera is in a "bad spot" and you get a great view of the wall someone is hiding behind or a view of the ground as they are running. A frame in frame view would IMO resolve most of this issue buy having 3/4 of the frame the "head mounted cam" and one of the bottom 1/4s the "down the scope" gun cam wich can be reversed as required, whichever is giving the best angle/point of view.
As a side note having mutiple people filming and editing to flip back and forth with a label of who's camera you are following is also gives a really nice effect and really helps to show the action.
