$725 is about right for that optic.
I can’t make out the manufacturer marks in the photos, but I have glasses for a reason. A DD is right around $2K though
375 rounds of 5.56x45 is about ~$200 these days.
A tactical vest is usually $30-$250 depending on what make. It’s basically just a vest with pouches sized for rifle magazines, a radio, and sometimes a handgun. It’s really nothing fancy. Mine was like $100 (you need somewhere to put your mags in competition).
