frzburn,
So you want a 300 win mag eh?
Well here is a heads up. It might be a little tough getting a 300 win mag police model 700. It's most likely cheaper for you to get a savage and have it worked on. It's just an import thing. It might take you the same amount of time to get a rifle from Mele and have it shipped through customs. Most stores will have to order a 300 police, as there is not much of a market for them in Canada. They will usually have to wait to have enough orders to get a full dealer discount from Remington. Most guys will try and sell you the Sendero model because a few of them will have a 300 win mag on hand. Wait times can be 3-5 months if you’re lucky.
The rifle one way or the other is going to set you back about $1200.00CND from wholesale sports
check some of them out

By the time you've topped off your shinny new rifle with a good scope you can easily spend over $3000.00
If you want to seriously shoot match ammo in 300WM the only way to go is to reload. Good quality match rounds will set you back $40-$60 per box/20...OUCH!!!. After you get set up properly you can load match rounds for about 50-75cents each. A good 100 round range session will set you back $200.00 if you can find match ammo in any store. damm that sucks.
Now let me make this clear, I'm not trying to be a jerk. I would just hate for anyone to work hard to save their money only to have that nice rifle sit in the gun cabinet because they can't afford to shoot it as much as they would like to. Then to make matters worse they sell the thing to buy a less expensive rig , loose money on the deal or even worse than that...they stop shooting all together. To my knowledge there is only 1 or 2 rifle ranges in all of Quebec that have a facility out past a 1000 meters.
If your hearts set on a 300 win mag then by all means send me a pm and I will try and help you get a good deal. I have a few friends in Canada in the business. But might I suggest a smaller caliber. 308 or even 223. There is so much inexpensive ammo around that you will be able to have more range time than you will know what to do with. A good quality rifle can be had for around $500 and I don't care what anyone says order your scope from the U.S. {those rifle scope distributors in Canada have gotten so greedy over the last 5 years that the markup on glass is uncalled for.} even with the exchange rate being what is is there are ways around it.
But I can help you with glass if you need it. Once again not trying to be a jerk just wanted to offer my own thoughts.
hope this helps.
Cheers,
Kenshin
