However, with everything going on and the election coming up I'm wondering if I should jump at the chance to get an ar-15 sooner than later. I'm seeing the m&p15 sport II for $799 online. Seems to be a Covid premium right now, not sure if or when it'll go down.
So, bolt action or semi-auto for my first rifle?

That's strictly up to you. Frankly, if you can find a range that rents rifles and pistols, it might give you a better insight as to which you might like.
Just a thought - have you considered an AR-10? They are a tad more expensive, but, in my opinion, they are sort of the "best" of both worlds....
Good luck in your search!!
