I practice with mine. And I shoot exclusively high power loads; 24 +/- grs win 296/h110 245-265 gr bullets at high velocities out of the rig below. I experience virtually none of the problems you describe,
Have you tried the same gun with a cheek pad? Or are just just convinced that the way you have been shooting the gun, as is, is good enough, and need not be improved upon, because that's the way you've always done it?
With enough practice, even less than optimum procedures can work. That does not make them the best procedures. I should know: I used to advocate carrying a 1911 in condition 3 (do a search- it's pretty amusing) .... and practiced drawing and racking to the point I was faster than some of the people I was shooting against at IDPA ..... but I was never as fast as all the guys that were doing it right, and until I started practicing and doing the right way (C&L), my draw times did not improve.

I would concede that a good set of irons (and I've tried just about all of em) does allow bringing the gun quicker to bear-
With a low power forward mounted/IER scope and a stock that fits the sight plane, you should be able to get the gun on target just as fast or faster ( than irons, especially traditional leaf-type irons. If you practice, you just shoulder the rifle while looking at the target with both eyes open and the crosshairs appear on it. Nothing to line up. Simple is smooth, smooth is fast.
