>I don't want bolt action, pump action, or an ak
First of all, shut up. There's nothing wrong with bolt action and pump action. AKs are expensive and 1000 dollars isn't enough for one with mags and ammo anymore, but don't disparage a gun just because it isn't semi-auto.
First of all, where you live and how old you are will determine what you can buy and how quickly you can get it. If you live in a cucked state like Colorado or California or Connecticut or live outside of the US, kill yourself, there's probably no helping you. You'll have to deal with specific weapon bans, magazine bans, retarded rules about ammo, and storage laws. If you're a felon or have been involuntarily committed to a psych ward, you've lost your rights, have fun with black powder.
>deer hunting
Deer hunting can be a rewarding and good experience, but it's a lot for a new hunter. I would recommend starting with something that isn't heavy as fuck and doesn't require a shit ton of field dressing, like rabbits or small birds. Hauling a deer corpse is also very hard to do without a truck, you don't want deer blood all over the inside of your car. The guns/cartridges you can use to hunt might also be restricted due to laws, don't be a fag and try to take squirrels with 5.56. Learn your local laws and don't poach/trespass.
For your first gun, buy a Ruger 10/22. You can buy new if you don't want to worry about it breaking due to it being abused, or you can save some money and buy a used one. 22 long rifle will teach you the basics of marksmanship while also being an affordable cartridge. Don't underestimate it, it is a lethal round and can be used for home defense, and you can go hunting with it. Squirrels, Birds, and rabbits can be taken with .22LR (assuming they are in season and you can do so legally.)

Watch every video on the Paul Harrell Channel, you can take pretty much anything he's said to the bank. He passed away recently but still is the best guntuber to ever exist. There's a few other good ones, but start with him. Avoid the big youtube channels, these are influences trying to sell you on expensive shit that you don't need.
After you've got a good handle on the 10/22, then you can work up to something else. Here's what I would recommend to a newer gun owner:
PSA AR-15: cheapest AR that you can get your hands on, but not a "budget friendly" gun. Ammo is subject to price gouging since everyone uses 5.56x45. You can build your own and customize pretty much every part of the gun. Don't be surprised if shit breaks or works poorly if you cheap out. Advanced users only, if your shit keyholes you didn't do enough research before building it.
Maverick 88: Cheapest passable pump action shotgun. Since you have money, you could spring for a better Mossberg instead. Shotguns are fantastic because you can load all kinds of shit into them, from low recoil birdshot to deer slugs. Very versatile and fun guns. Semi Auto shotguns might be in your budget, but they will have a hard time cycling all kinds of ammo. A break action or pump action shotgun can cycle almost everything. Don;t bother with 20GA, just get a 12GA. Ammo is cheap and plentiful.
As for handguns... just don't buy cheap garbage like Taurus, avoid the fucking sig 320 too. Hell you can forget about most sigs, never liked them myself and they make parts in fucking India. Just do a bit of research and don't trust jewtube reviewers who are paid to upsell you on shit you don't need. I'll reach through my screen and strange you if you buy a pistol optic before learning how to use irons. There's a dozen good brands and two or three good pistols for each brand, at least. Don't conceal carry unless you can get proper training and can do so legally. Avoid the stupid meme calibers and stick with 9mm luger, .45 ACP, .40 S&W... something somewhat common that you can actually afford ammo for.
As for Ammo, buy ammo from a few different brands at first, find out what ammo works best in your gun, then buy 500-1000 rounds of that brand. Indoor ranges don't like hollow points or steel case ammo sometimes, try to stick to brass. If you buy slavshit or weird foreign crap, look out for corrosive primed ammo, corrosive ammo is usually very consistent, but you need to clean your shit after you shoot it. Clean your gun out with WATER before oiling to get rid of all the corrosive salts, they are water soluble. If you aren't shooting corrosive ammo, don't use water to clean it.
For the most part you don't need special cleaning tools, all you really need is a boresnake in the caliber of whatever guns you have, a bore cleaner like hoppe's no 9, and some basic gun oil. You will need to regularly oil your shit if you live somewhere humid, and a gun that is not properly lubricated may start to malfunction. Q-tips help in reaching nooks and crannies.
MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, LEARN THE 5 RULES OF FUN SAFETY
1. Always treat every firearm as if it is loaded
2. Never point the gun at anything you do not intend to shoot and destroy.
3. Keep your finger OFF THE TRIGGER until you are READY TO SHOOT. that means finger off trigger until your sights are on the target.
4. BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT. Bullets can sometimes go through your intended target and keep going.
5. Have fun. It's a supposed to be a fun hobby, not a constant rat race to see who's going to survive le ebic boogaloo or some other gay shit. Do not feel jealous of people with fancy shit, the gun you have in your possession is worth 100X as much as the gun you don't own.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but this is all I can think of off the top of my head. You can always ask the retarded questions here before asking them in real life. Also, are you a refugee from 4/k/ or from another 8ch board?
