For my purposes when I build mine if I ever get the dang thing built I'll go with 24" but for your purposes a 20" to 22" sounds about right.
If I was building a walk about/stand rifle I think I would go with a 22" mannlicker stocked rifle with a weight of about 7 pounds and high quality peep sights. YMMV.
