Re: AR-15 research and purchase.....
If you have no particular preferences going in, I suggest a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Sport with a Primary Arms Micro Dot.
There are a lot of lesser known AR brands of comparable quality at slightly lower prices, but there is something to be said for a factory warranty from a large manufacturer, especially if you don't want to tinker. The optics from Primary Arms are solid mid range gear. You can splurge for an ACOG or go cheap with a $20 RDS on eBay or Amazon, but for somebody with no preconcieved notions, the Primary Arms Micro Dot at $90 is a good place to start. There are a multitude of other options but these are solid choices that won't break your budget, and leave some money for PMAGs and ammo.
