Miliary surplus rifles are cheap and ammo is plentyful.

Mosin Nagant M-44 7.62 x 54 (Big 5 used to sell them under $100.00)

SKS 7.62 x 39 (still shoots ak ammo, but a great gun for the money, can find bulk ammo realitively cheap at local gunshows)

8 mm Mauser (bolt action, accurate and still realitivley cheap)

Remington 700 .308 (accurate and ammo easy to find)

Norinco M1A (Cheaper than springfield armory)

Marlin 336 30/30 (cheap gun and ammo is cheap, lever actions are nice too)
