and what cheap ammo sholud i use for practising at range

$600 isn’t cheap. unless you’re very rich.
a “cheap” deer rifle would be the Mosin Nagant. Under $100 about 99% of the time. ammo is cheap too, military surplus 300rd tins for around $60. a M91/30 Mosin rifle is accurate up to 800 yards.
A similarly “cheap” deer rifle would be a Mauser 98, around $250 with affordable ammo (I haven’t seen much lately though). Its a bit more powerful than the Mosin, maybe effective to 1000 yards.
Another one to look at is the Saiga 308, a semiautomatic AK-type polymer stock sporting rifle in .308 Winchester. .308 Winchester is similar to the .30-06 in power.
generally the cheapest is the Mosin rifle, you can buy good hunting ammo around $28 per 20, but practice ammo military surplus at around $60 per 300 rounds.
Then comes the Saiga in .308 Winchester. .308 is a bit more expensive, but its non-corrosive so easier to clean up afterward. Its $200 per 500 rounds. There is also some pricey high-end hunting ammo available.
