Pistol, Ruger MKII for 230 dollars, they are out there and not hard to find, try private sale. Nothing wrong with the MKI either. My local dealer has them ranging from 189 to 250.
Rifle, I am partial to the CZ bolt actions and Ruger 10/22.
My local dealer has them ranging from 174 to 279.

I purchased my CZ 452FS for 330 new, it goes for 360 or so now. Fantastic and my number 1 pick. This is an extremely high quality rifle and a steal at the price they offer it.

You aren't looking hard enough for used guns, they are where it's at.

I recommend you do some good reading, even the manual is a good start, they always lay down all the important rules and if you do EVERYTHING in that manual to the letter (which includes basic gun safety) you can't go wrong. That being said I think the course should come before ownership. Said as an NRA basic pistol instructor.
