i think PRVI is probably a very safe bet. AIM has some for under $0.50/round. this is about the same price as the Malaysian, DAG and Chilean surplus that is currently available. i prefer the DAG but some PTR's don't like it, so for a new rifle i would start out with "commercial" ammunition, and the PRVI should fit the bill.
CURRENTLY the only source that i know of for DAG, is The Sportsman's Guide.
PORT may be available from SAMCO, but i hear so many horror stories about them, i am reluctant to order. also, a lot of the PORT currently available is slightly corroded. in my experience is does not seem to affect function but it does seem to affect accuracy.
the PRVI is every bit as accurate as the DAG and PORT, which are the most accurate of the surplus ammunition, in my experience.
i have no experience with the Malaysian or Chilean surplus, so i can't comment on them.
the Brown Bear ammunition is a little cheaper, it can usually be found for around $0.40/round, but it isn't anywhere near as accurate as the PRVI (or PORT or DAG, for that matter).
i would recommend you buy a Gen 1 Hensoldt from Cheaper than Dirt, for $300, or from Robert RG for a little more.
Robert RG also has "survival kits" that should cover a lot of the other items you may need.
