Several years ago I would have said go with a 24-26 in barrel for better accuracy. Now though, as long as you get a fast twist rate like a 1 in 10 you can go with a 20 inch barrel and be just as accurate... It will help with weight too. Especially if you go with a bull barrel like I prefer..
 
Look into Cryo treating. I think you'll be happy with the results! Saves having to lug around heavy bull barrels, accomplishes exactly the same thing (prevent temperature change from moving your POI). Manufactures will actually admit they don't do it in place of bull barrels because it's not a marketable. You can't see it / brag about it / people aren't willing to pay for it.
I'll have to look into it..
