What is considered the most accurate production 6.5 Grendel?

Having shot a lot of different Grendel's, it's going to be a toss-up between:
AA with a premium barrel
Precision Firearms
JP
Les Baer (.264 LBC-AR)
I've seen AA Grendel's shoot into the .25 MOA region for 8 rounds. BWaites has one that does that.
I've rapid-fired several 5rd groups into the .3's with PF guns using Bartlein or Lilja barrels.
The JP's are meant to be lightweight, and run with no felt recoil, while being able to shoot 10rds into 1 MOA rapidly.
Les Baer has a rifle that has exceeded 20,000rds and is still shooting sub 1/2 MOA.
Any shop that knows what they are doing can assemble a tack-driving, varmint/long range-grade accuracy AR15 in 6.5 Grendel, and the companies listed above have been doing so for many years now.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO
CCW, CQM, DM, Long Range Rifle Instructor

My view is that the biggest influencer of accuracy it is in the quality of the barrel. Look to the barrels favoured by Target Rifle, F Class or Bench Rest shooters. Then narrow it down to those producing them in AR profiles. Then specifically the 6.5GR. That narrows it down Krieger, Lilja and Shilen. Other barrel makers either don't do AR profiles or are not favoured by shooting disciplines that disproportionally focus on accuracy.
If you don't want to build the gun yourself then find a reputable gunsmith who is willing to use one of these barrels. Be careful however as some gunsmiths have deals going with barrel manufacturers and will want to talk you into a barrel or furniture with more profit margin in it for them. Or maybe because they have certain barrels in stock. There's a couple of regular posters here who might build you a best-accuracy gun for a fair price (not me). The AR is a very modular piece of kit and it's not rocket science to put one together with every single part exactly what you want. Off-the-shelf guns with best quality barrels are available but they may come with furniture that is not to your liking. If you speak to the owner then at this niche level of precision everything is negotiable, especially if you are reasonable and polite with your wish list.

Reading some of the PRS blogs, there are listings of most popular barrels,actions , and optics the pros use, but the ar and grendel have become something very different than what's on the rack at Scheels, Cabelas, etc. I think thats the brilliance of it. I can CHOOSE exactly what I want where. If anything, there's too much choice. Things I love and things I kick myself for buying. That is my biggest concern as an owner of few weapons, knowing what to grab and what to avoid.
