I Want to Buy Two Guns

Hey Steemians,

 I need your help. Im not particularly well off but I recently joined the Socialist Rifle Association  (SocialistRA.org) and I am looking for recommendations for overall best rifle and handgun. 

 I'm looking for one of each. 

-A rifle that I can practice, hunt, and, god forbid, battle with. This rifle should be economically priced and chambered in an easy to find, affordable caliber.

-A handgun that I can practice with and make my primary side arm. This should be affordable and have reasonable stopping power and also be chambered in an easy to find, fairly inexpensive caliber.

Am I asking too much? Looking for high functionality and per dollar. Don't need a bunch of cosmetics or furniture.

Where is it safe to compromise when buying a gun?

Anyway, I'm a noob and insights are appreciated.
