I would like to spend $600-$700 but for the right rifle will go to $900... Not a penny more!
I would prefer to have a synthetic stock.
I would prefer to not use a detached magazine but that's not a deal killer.
Stainless would be nice but not required.
Would really like to have it made in America but know that's hard to come by now days.
My biggest concern is accuracy obviously...
I've been looking at Remington model 700 sps stainless, tikka t3 lite stainless, and tikka t3 super lite stainless.
What are your thoughts, good or bad, on those? Any other recommendations.

If you don't mind dbm FCSS, bear Hunter or in bluing fcns, long range Hunter.
I like T3 lites but in 300 they kick like a mule.
What glass do you plan on putting in the gun?

Yes, I picked one up from A local Bi-Mart 4 or 5 years back. Shot well with 165gr Accubonds and RL- 22 powder. It was the stainless SPS, it was 425.00 plus tax. Bi-Mart still has great deals on them, I believe they are still in the same price range. I may pick up another I had the original one I purchased worked over by Benchmark Barrels and it ended up as a 30" .338 Edge.

After I get a little more cash together I'll be buying a new rifle. It needs to be chambered for 300 win mag.

As mentioned, tikka's aren't a bad option but they do have some pretty healthy recoil in that round especially the super light versions. If your looking at Tikka because of the removable mag, keep this in mind. If you want to carry an extra mag on you, you may have to work it over a bit. They are noisy, even in a pocket or pouch the ammo rattles inside of them when your moving quickly or jarring it around over rough terrain. I know this first hand.

If the price is right I would seriously consider this. I have one in 300wsm with a VX6 on top. For an out of the box factory gun you can not beat it. Sweet trigger. Already has the muzzle break. I sighted mine at 100 yrds after mounting the scope and haven't shot it inside 400 since. I've never been a long range shooter but banging steel at almost 800 yrds is pretty damn cool.

I have a .300 and .338 identical rifles. I see no reason to use the .300. The .338 out performs it on everything. And I much prefer the .338 for elk. Deer only the .300 is fine. The kick is identical for both and with good pad and synthetic stock theres no need for a brake.You don't think a .300 win mag is adequate for elk?

Do yourself a favor andWhy? Not trying to be a smart a$$ I'm just curious your reasoning.

I held a tikka... Not a fan
I held a savage... Doesn't fit me right
I held a Winchester model 70... I hate the safety
Picked up the sps and knew right away I wanted it. Can't wait to start throwing some lead!
