Brux barrels aren't $700 , ever I'm sorry. I looked at the build invoice. $559 for the barrel, $75 for Cryogenic treatment and $80 for the DLC coating. Total $714. I was little off
If you shoot a young deer because a neighbor will shoot it, you are that neighbor.

Can you hunt medium game with a 6.5? 6.5's have been getting it done for a very long time. Of all the rifles I have my 6.5 Creedmoor is my favorite. I've dropped whitetail, hogs, coyotes, coons, crows, and prairie dogs very far out with it. I'd elk hunt with it if it was the only rifle I had, and wouldn't be worried about it.

I wonder why Brux charges so much. A fluted precision barrel is only in the $400's

Barrel extension, chambering, crowning, and threading all add up.
