I've always seen pistols as a weapon type that rewards accuracy over spray and prey. Which is why the scrambler pistol getting a 375% headshot bonus (shield/armour efficiency not included) is perfectly acceptable.
However, the bolt and ion pistol have no extra headshot damage over the racial rifles. They all get a 150% headshot bonus. So I propose that the Ion and bolt pistol get a 275%, leaving the scrambler pistol the most suited to accurate shots (as the ScR is over the other rifles), but allowing the other pistols to still follow the 'accuracy over spray' theme that pistols should have.
We want cake and tea.

I can dig it. Though I just think the Bolt Pistol needs a bit of a ROF buff.
I'm actually fine with the bolt's ROF. It's the magazine that gets me.

Maybe this is a bug. Is there somewhere a official statement that say it should work that way ??? Or did you figure it for your self out ???
I haven't seen any mention of CCP intending to do this. But it just makes sense.
And it wasn't too hard to find out by myself. Just aim at a team mates head and the bonus is there for me to read basically. :P

The scrambler rifle has the same bonus (not the assault, though, just the standard). If the scrambler lance turns out to be an anti infantry weapon, then it could potentially have the same bonus. It's just a ScramTech thing The ScR does not have a headshot bonus. Only the ScP has a headshot bonus, and no other guns do.
Confirming that the ScR has the same headshot bonus as the other rifles. People probably think it's so high as the extra 20% shield bonus makes it look a lot higher than the rest.
Though, the Sniper does have a 195% bonus to headshot damage.

The modifier on the ScP is a great way to differentiate it from the other pistols: The Ion pistol has the charge mechanic, the Bolt is fully auto/high damage/long range, Flaylock shoots explosive AOE rounds and the ScP has the high headshot modifier. We really shouldn't devolve the pistol line into "one sausage, different lengths."
That's why I propose the ion and bolt only get 275% bonus whilst the scambler pistol keeps its 375% bonus to maintain it's headshot speciality.
