20" barrels don't look so bad with the appropriate accessories installed.

Although admittedly, they aren't as sleek as an 18.5"

As for cutting down a Creedmoor, when I had my Montana chopped, the velocity changes were:

140gr AB/RL16
22": 2,760 fps
20" w/can: 2,765 fps

127gr LRX/RL16
22": 2,915 fps
20" w/can: 2,897 fps


Just something to think about since with the May day sale at Whittaker's, you could pick up a 20" SS CTR for ~$880.
