That would be a fine choice. That is great starting point. You can get dealer support and it has a warranty
But, on top of the rifle you have some associated costs. I assume extra magazines. I'd get a couple. And that is a whole discussion in itself
You may want a 5 or 10 round magazine if you want to go hunting, as often in that role you are restricted ...
You may want to add an optic (scope, red dot, etc.) after you become fully familiar with the rifle and it's ergonomics.
You'll need some basic cleaning stuff and some lube. You'll want to maybe attend a local AR maintenance class. Many gun shops have a 1 hour on saturdays for that.
You may want a forward light for HD. You do not want to shoot unless you know what it is. A light with a pressure switch is an option (for your forward grip hand).
The AR is the Lego's of rifles. You can build/buy anything you can think up. But there is no need to start there. Start with basic platform like you have selected. Get a few 100 rounds of ammo - say Federal (brand) bulk paks.
Get some Dirty Bird targets (the kind that highlight your hits). Go to the range and see what it's like... Very likely, if you do not have a shootin buddy, the Range Master will help you by explaining sighting in. He can't devote a lot of attention to you. But between rounds he can discuss things as he watches the "line" prepping.
All of our hints and discussion are from our perspective. I've been shootin for over 60 years. I have not touched an AR platform since discharge in the 1970's. Since I could not have my issue HydraMatic Div M16 as a civilian, I just walked away - until this year when the crazy Cali Laws started making me look for ways to tweak the mans nose.
So now I'm back in the game. But my path is WAY different than yours. And so are the others here. But collectively we can discuss stuff. And maybe some of it will be what you want
