Do you often have animals standing still at archery distance painted orange while you sit in a fixed position? If that's the case, then no, your rifle's not crippled by your scope. Could you not have done just as well with iron sights?

Real nice shooting though, 12" stationary targets at less than 100 yards from a stable position with a scope.

In the end it's YOUR money and YOUR gun and the only one who has to be happy with it is YOU. If you want to put a 50x telescope on your rifle to shoot 30 yards away, go for it. If you're okay with a chin weld and you want a scope on a lever gun to kill zombies with...more power to you. Everything is a compromise and if it suits your needs, great.
