Anyhow, what is the typical shooting range (correct term?) for this rifle? I mean the range that it could inflict bodily harm. IIRC M16 has probably about 400 meters range while the M14 has further range because of different ammo (5.56 mm vs 7.62 mm). And M14 makes a better sniper rifle than M16. Am I making sense here???

That thing would be Prohibited in Canada, maybe Restricted if it's not specifically named as a Prohibited weapon.
M14 is Unrestricted, as long as the barrel is over 18.5" (I think they are often 22").
Neither is really a sniper rifle. M14s are modded to be used as DMR's (Designated Marksman Rifles) I believe. Good to 600ish meters? Maybe more?
For a 7.62mm x 51 sniper rifle (er... I mean deer hunting gun) in Canada you could get something like a CZ 750 S1M1 heavy barrel, a Sako TRG-22 (also available in .338 Lapua), or Tikka T3 tactical heavy barrel.
