Armalite. They have a couple models with match chamber and one with match chamber and match trigger. More reliable than the ones you have listed, probably more accurate. I've seen too many 716's go back to Sig.

Man I love mine, it is a much better shooter then I am. Really hate the trigger. Going to order a new one after I get Christmas out of the way. Would buy again if had to do over.

Re: Sig 716
I already have a gap ar-10 308, and an Les Baer Monolith 308, and was wondering for the money a person would have invested and the accuracy you would get is the 716 fairly close in accuracy. Would the 716 shoot 3/4" or less. The GAP and the Les will shoot 1/2" or less.

Mine will shoot 1" or less with 168 Hornadys, and that's with the shitty trigger it came with. All I have shot have been Hornadys, ordered 200 168 FGMM that should be in here any day now but sure they will shoot just as good if not better.
I didn't buy this gun to be a precision rig, have many others to fill that role. In my opinion it's a great rifle and well worth the money. I really don't think you would be sorry.

Not that it would lack accuracy.
It just may be less "naturally" accurate I guess I could say haha
I have heard some piston guns shoot amazing groups. Usually a pistol system means that the barrel is not free floated completely in one way or another. I would think a free floated bull barrel DI gun would be a little more naturally accurate. Im sure they can still shoot great. BTW I have a 556 which is a pistol gun and it shoots MOA or so.

Re: Sig 716
I was out shooting my 716 earlier in the week, shoots better than MOA out to 450 yards with my 168 gr AMAX hand loads. Best 5 shot group @ 450 measured 3 3/8".
Other than a trigger upgrade it's stock.
I didn't buy it for a precision rifle but when I realized how well it shot, just had to wring it out
