I know you said you didn't want to build one, but consider the idea. Like you, I didn't know anything about ARs when I started. Putting one together is a great way to become familiar with the platform and how it works. If you have any kind of mechanical skills and some very basic tools, it's actually not that hard to do. I chose to build mine for the cost savings and the experience with the rifle, not to build a spec'd out custom AR. There is an 11% tax on the purchase of complete AR15 rifles.

Cost may not be as big a factor for you as it was for me, but to give you an idea, I'm currently about $600 invested. That total includes a case, 5 magazines(2 20rd, 3 30rd), the rifle kit, lower receiver, cheap 4x32 scope, and about 600 rounds of ammo. I already had cleaning equipment. The rifle has performed admirably with no malfunctions and reasonable accuracy.
