Get what you want.
As for me, every rifle I own that I think of as an "elk rifle" instead of a "deer/elk rifle" have scopes of no more then 5X, and my "deer/elk rifles" mostly have 4X or 2x-7X on them. Even on my variables, I never hunt with them set at over 4X
When I was a few decades younger I also believed the marketeers and I have big scopes on many rifles, but as I grew older and killed more game in a LOT of different places and conditions I found that imaginations over about 5-6 were not only not helpful, they were a problem.
Today my only high magnification scope (4x-12X) is on my 222 Remington.
