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.

Said can be effective at 800 yards (720 meters?)
