I am currently an archery elk hunter, but would like to also try rifle hunting. I'm thinking about purchasing a new lightweight Vortex rifle scope that is 4.5-22x50. It is actually lighter then my current 3-15x44 scope.

I know that 22 power is overkill for hunting. But is the 4.5 power low enough for typical closer shots? Or will I regret not having 2 or 3 power at the low end? Thanks!
