I am a personal fan of Faxon barrels. They make 16, 18 and 20 inch gunner barrels in 6.5 grendel. I have found them to be reasonably priced, good quality and accurate.

I've had great success with the Alexander Arms barrels. I have an 18" barrel on my lightweight build as well as one of their 24" barrels. I'm not sure if a lightweight barrel fits for what you want from the bench rifle but I put the link below.

Shilen, Black Hole Weaponry, Bartlein/Craddock, Proof Research, and Krieger, in no particular order. They’ll shoot considerably smaller than 1MOA.

I’ve tended to go Rifle length 20” Grendels, or longer, but have had a 12.5” and a 16”, and built everything from 16”-26” for others. For the task of whitetail hunting to only 300yrds I’d likely go 16” in your shoes (20” if it were my money).

For bench use and positional hunting fields, I prefer a little extra barrel weight, something on the order of a National Match/DCM profile - heavy behind the block, but 0.750” gas block and nominal muzzle.
