If you are a US citizen, you may purchase an M1 Garand from the Civilian Marksmanship Program- and MAYBE stay within that budget. Do a computer search for the CMP. The Garand is reliable, and capable of long range accuracy.
There are many other military rifles that are less expensive, but they lack the accuracy of a Garand (rifles like the SKS) OR they are not semi-auto (Russian Moisin-Nagants, Mauser 98s, British SMLEs, Swiss K-31s, etc)
You should have started looking a few years back- prices have gone up last few years.
The accuracy for civilian use is four to five meters but for US military use the accuracy is 100%
You have to be in the military first-preferably Air Force.
Go over MACH 1. Preferably in a military jet.

Really, no such thing. ANY firearm is capable of inflicting an injury that includes death. Qualities sought in a military firearm are cost, reliability, accuracy, range, weight, ease of repair and maintenance, and easy of use/ training. The bolt action 30-06 rifle from WW I is just as deadly as the newest fully automatic rifle made today.
the US was not concerned about war in the pacific
Yes, but fortunately, this did not happen in the United States Military.
