This is the only barber I use:

I have so many problems with that wheel picture..
The "damage" to the case which "looks" like the hammer caused was obviously done AFTER the primers were removed. No visible damage or abnormal wear that I can see on the cylinder aside the finish rubbed off the edges which happens with use, and absolutely no obvious proof that's even a Taurus.

Try looking into sightron s2 big sky. Weaver tacticals get good reviews.
Another good scope is the vortex diamondback. There is apparently nothing that can touch it in the price class. $200 for 3-9x40
The SS 3-9x42 is bad ***. I have it on my FNAR. but, I think it is $600

Looking for a decent scope to mount on the AR. Since I can't see using it for anything but zombies, I don't think that qualifies as "hunting". Probably something tactical, without all the silly add-ons.
Jee-zuss, I had no idea there were so many choices these days. And who the hell pays $2500 for a friging scope? For that price it should aim for me.

Sometimes this thread turns to suck... allow me to bring back on course:
Sitting on the bed in front of me is this fine piece of American awesomeness pic'd below. Have spent the better part of the evening trying to figure out what optics I want to run, and despite my trash-talking about low-magnification optics earlier, I keep coming back to a fixed 3x as "exactly" what I need. I'm kinda stuck on the Nikon 3x32 P223. It's $174 shipped from OpticsPlanet and there's a $30 rebate from Nikon.
Nikon P-223 3x32 BDC Carbine Rifle Scope FREE S&H 8496-KIT1, 8496. Nikon Rifle Scopes.
Also nearing purchase phase is my 300blk upper... still looking like $350 shipped, and then I'll need an optic for that, but almost certainly gonna go with a 1x red-dot... Bushnell TRS-25 or Primary Arms Micro (if they can unfuck their supply issues).
EDIT: Just found a 5% off coupon for OP... $166.15 shipped.
