All of the above...if they are not living together in perfect harmony you will rapidly lose interest in your rifle....
Yeah some are but any one of those components not being up to scratch will scunner you in the quest for accuracy...

That is somewhat like asking what organ contributes most to the quality of life of a man.
Brain
Heart
Lungs
Liver
Kidneys
Anal Sphincter
As Mangle has said, I suggest (for your rifle) that all have their part to play and if one fails then just as if the anal sphincter had failed in a man the result would be rather shitty.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
Most custom rifles will need all, some factory rifles only need ammo or a trigger job or replacement, some stocks need bedding.
All depends on rifle combination?
And some people just can’t shoot with all the best gear in the world.
Barrel. Read up on the Houston Warehouse. If a rifle has a crap barrel none of the other factors can make up for it. If a rifle has a shit trigger and a good barrel it can still be shot well with practice not so the other way around.
The 3 most important factors affecting accuracy in any rifle:
1) the shooter
2) the shooter
3) the shooter

If you insist on keeping it to the hardware side, it would help if you break it down into bits that really matter.
So for instance instead of saying "barrel", you might want to have distinct items for chambering and the crown, both of which affect matters.
It also depends on what rifles you are talking about. In general bedding the action in the stock makes a huge difference, but for most of the Tikkas this does not seem to be as much of an issue as with other makes...

Hmmm I don't think I need to break it down too much. Let's try it this way:
I know you like Barnard actions @ebf, but if I was short on funds and the action doesn't affect accuracy that much (but a match-quality barrel does), then why should I not just thread a match barrel onto a 2nd hand Rem 700 rather than shoot a Barnard with a less quality barrel?
IMO, barrel is the most important - followed equally by a stock that is stiff enough and a good bedding system. Its not going to perform well without those pieces of the puzzle. A trigger makes a rifle easier to shoot more accurately, but does not change the fundamental accuracy of the rifle.
