Is a 4-12x40 scope too much magnification for a Mini 14?

I have one on my target mini and I'm used to shooting it. I usually shoot with 3x9 scopes for better field of view.

Read the review I posted of the Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x40 in this forum. Its the best scope I have for trying for small groups on the Mini 14. Not a CQB scope, but I don't use that rifle as a CQB weapon.

Best,
Grumpy

I really want a 1-4X scope and was planning to trade in the 1" rings for 30mm ones but I got a Bushnell Trophy 4-12x40 for free and I can't decide if it's worth keeping the rings.

If you already used the rings, Ruger won't trade them. I have a Nikon, Monarch 1.5-4.5, 1" tube, great scope for CQB.
