Glass recommendations for AR-10

DPMS LR308-B is on its way to my local FFL with my name on it. I need recommendations for optics. I am currently considering Nightforce NXS, Vortex PST first focal plane, IOR-Valdada or Leupold Mark 4. Id like to stick with a 30mm tube.
I would like to have the best low light (dusk/dawn) light gathering possible for at or under $2k.
This will be a hunting rifle for deer, hogs and whatever else needs to die (nutria, coyotes, antelope, etc)
Relatively new to higher end optics, but want this to be the hand me down rifle for my youngest son (grandpa Raji hooked my older 2 sons up already).

Those are all decent choices. That said, I would go IOR or Nightforce between the other 2.

No clear winner between the two for low light gathering/transmittal?

I don't have enough experience with IOR to tell you about low light against Nightforce. I have used the Valdada on a Surgeon Bolt gun out to 300 but during bright sun in the middle of the day and it was purely awesome. I have shot Nightforce in low light and they work very well in low light.

10-4. Thanks for your input! Will attempt to post pics when the rifle comes in.

Stay away from Valdada. Great glass, shitty internal and external components
If you want the most light, get a Swarovski Z6. I'll never get tired of seeing customer's faces when I take all the high end scopes out at dusk and the Z6 just smokes them all.
If you want a tactical style like the ones you described, get a Swarovski X5i. They get really up there in price though

That Meopta Meostar is pretty good for low light for less than half the price. Now I'm not saying it's the best for an ar10 but for low light and a regular hunting rifle it is tough to beat for the price.

That was gonna be my 2nd suggestion. Only complaint on the Meoptas are the shitty turrets. Those can be replaced though

I thought they had fixed most of there issues. I think problem scopes were around 2008-2009 but most got fixed. I could be wrong though.

I love my trijicon accupoint. It's a 2.5-10x56 30mm tube. Has crosshairs with a green dot in the middle. I wanted the best low light scope without paying thousands and that was my favorite by far. I also looked at the nightforce and It doesn't compare to the trijicon in low light. It runs about $1000-1200.
A buddy hunts with a leupold vx3. We compared them at dusk looking at deer in his field and he said he likes the trijicon way better and he's been a leupold guy all his life.

Go on... What? How? Where? How much?

Bobby Bacala gave Tony Soprano a full-auto AR-10 for his birthday.
I can't quite make out the optic he has on it, but you know it was a good one.
