Just checked them out.
$700 for just a barrel with bolt.
Not in my budget.
Not sure what you looked at, but my new barrel will be here tomorrow, exactly 7 weeks to the day, and just under $330 to my door.
No bolt though, and ordered during one of their 20% off sales.

Just the base barrel price with no options is $372
The bolt alone is $200

Not knowing what you're going to use it for or your expectations for a 6mm are, I'd look seriously at a 6x45mm. I've been shooting one in a bolt action for 25+ years and for predators it is hard to beat. lots of dies, data, brass and should be good for varmints to deer with the right bullet. Just pop in a barrel, same mags and BCG.
The only cons it is boringly simple.

They have several 20% sales a year, and probably one coming up shortly.
No way I would pay $200 for a bolt.....
Just got an email, X-Caliber fall 20% off sale starts today....

For sure xcaliber 6x6.8 at the sale price. Should be able to get a bolt for 60 or less if I recall.

Another vote for 6 x 6.8. Finally got one together last week using a X-Caliber barrel. Only put 40 rds through it last week just to check function. Next will be load development with 75 V-Max for coyotes and 95 SST for deer. 20" with plus 1 gas length. Started buying Starline brass last spring.
