Reason I ask is that you'll likely get more consistent results on target with a shorter barrel. The longer varmint barrels are optimal for maximizing muzzle velocity when shooting the lighter 45-50 grain projectiles. The set-up is well suited for consistent first shot hits on small targets like yotes, ground hogs, etc., but the longer barrel is more susceptible to the effects of resonance and tend to flex more as the projectile passes through it.
A shorter, more rigid barrel will be better suited for target shooting. All my target rifles have 18.5" or 20" barrels and deliver great results at moderate and long distance. Switched my 24" target AR to an 18.5" barrel and my groups tightened up. Same thing for my .308 rig when I swapped my 26" barrel for a 20". Just my two cents...
