I'm fairly certain there is absolutely no way of doing it.
I am not sure that it is impossible, but it is close enough. If it were practical there would be a poot load imported, even if one at a time. Best approach is to just find one in the US. They are occasionally found in the $600 range and $700 is very doable. They are worth that much anyway IMO.
Been there done that going US > CA & investigated it for my cousin the other way. 300 or 350 tariff at the border / to the importer makes it even out.
Took close to a year to get all three rifles home. Got stalled at the border on the US side for unknown reasons ( 3 bolt actions no less)... bureaucratic twits...
Figures. As to coming over the border, when you go to Canada, it's "welcome, enjoy yourself, have fun, spend some $" when you return to the US it's "what's this, who are you, why are you coming (back) to the US. ?"
