hmm, well if you're mostly interested in target and small game the 17HMR is a fast hot accurate (and cheap)
it won't break the bank for ammo either 10 bucks for 50 rounds
not for deer though
270 is a good round like jewcat said but a bit expensive for shooting target
for target and occasional hunting i would look at ruger or remington, they both make a nice bolt action rifle chambered in 7.62 x 39 (ak47)
so you have a nice bolt action accurate scope rifle thats cheap to shoot and plenty of knockdown power for up to deer size animals
here is what you want
