Nothing wrong with building a capable rifle, then practicing with it to become capable your self.300 yards with a .22 RF?
Are you an ant looking to move a rubber tree?
What you wish to try is not a beginners move nor is the resultant equipment what one would call entry level.
Maybe try hooking up with seasoned shooter and try your luck at 1/10 the distance and see for yourself that the intended game is much more difficult than you could imagine.
A couple years ago, I to would have had doubts about 300 yards; now, I am up for the chalenge. I started out with a basic CZ Super Match that I bought used with cracked stock, missing sights, for a good price. Within the first year, I upgraded from the old scope I had put on it, did the trigger, put it in an Oryx chassis, got a CZUB Varmint barrel, put on a 40 MOA rail, a bipod and adjustable bag rider. I later added a straight grip, adjustable butt-plate, extended bolt handle. With the scope I have, I was able to still zero at 20 yards (not joking) with enough dial up to go out well past 300 without having to hold over.
Using inexpensive TAC 22 ammo, 10 shot groups at 100 yards on a perfect day range from .9 - 2 MOA; that should tickle steel at 200 easily, and likely 300 as well.
Building was fun, and rewarding; shooting it a lot is even more so.

Neat setup: what’s that adjustable bag rider??
I have a Zeiss V6 5-30x50 to put on it.
at 300 I would probably shoot gongs for fun realistically id be shooting more so at 50-100 at paper

I really like my Bergara b14r
The nice thing about them is there on a rem 700 sa footprint so stocks rails triggers all are 700 footprint so options are endless when it come to upgrades
And there very accurate rifles when you find what ammo it likes
Friend of mine actually won the king of 22 mile with his last year and that’s 600+ yards I believe
But if you want to go all in the ibi barrels DEUCE 2.0 are very nice too that is what I am running now

My most enjoyment was plinking steel at 100 with my Ruger Single six. If I had 300 yards to shoot at, id get same enjoyment shooting steel with any of my 22.
I sold my Savage mark 2. Decided to use one of my unused Anschutz. It is better in every way. Don't have to buy a 400$ stock to make it fit me.

My reason for the chassis is this: 455s were missing two things; no pillar bedding; the screw holes were over sized, and one was open sided. No recoil lugh
; they relied on the tang inletting into the stock to "fix" the action front to back... the reason I got this gun for a good price was that it was dropped or bumped hard on the butt stock, the barreled action shifted rearward and sheared a big chip out of the stock.
The 457 has some improvements; the bolt and a recoil lug (even though is is no more than an easily lost, plastic key). The adjustable trigger is a nice feature also. Two things I don't like are the plastic cocking indicator, and on their base rifles, a plastic bolt shroud. Metal on their "fancier" models.
Many time we try something for no other reason than the challenge it presents.
While shooting a BSA Martini MkII at an 8" bull at 100 metres, the question arose as to the accuracy at 300 yards.
The Sierra Infinity Six program suggested 40 MOA of elevation.
Using Eley Team and shooting t the bank behind the targets, a spotter said I was close enough to go.
Seven rounds of one lot produced a group just over 7".
Five rounds from the second lot was just under 7".
Seeing bullet holes on a black bull was impossible but the challenge proved it was possible.
During our 100/200 Metre Rimfire, the challenge was to extend to 300 yards. The shots could not be seen at 300 yards and that thought was abandoned.
200 metres has a consistent following with 3-9 shooters accepting the challenge.
The target is 6.5 inches across printed on 8.5 by 11 index card. At the first shoot Ken said we will be lucky to keep them all on the paper and he did while another shooter kept them all in the scoring rings. The best group to date is 1.71" c-c for 10 shots.
