I think I've got too much scope for my handgun use (4X)

Some of you may have mentioned it to me before.

I got the Redhawk back from Ruger after they replaced the barrel. (it broke off due to a manufacturing defect)

I re-mounted the scope and went to the 25 yd. handgun range to zero it. The shakiness of the extra magnification doesn't bother me. I like that resolution it gives.

What does bother me is having to get my eye aligned just so in order to even get a sight picture.

I need to downgrade to a 2X scope, red dot, or just remove it and use the old irons. Scopes still seem like an advantage for shots from a rest. For close shots, I'm not so sure any more.

Anyone ever missed a shot on a deer because you couldn't get the sight picture quickly enough?

Mine's a Leupold M8-4X EER, gloss black.
