Ruger 10/22 boyds blaster barrel length opinions?

[TOPH R]

Lookin to build up a 10/22 to be a great offhand rifle. Keepin in mind I'm a big guy 6'1 250ish

Wondering if I could have some opinions about barrel length for a boyds blaster stock?

I already have a savage btv for bench work, with bipod et all, so I am looking at putting together my 10/22 for offhand work.

I hate the feeling of an overly light rifle (stock carbine) but for offhand, I don't want something as front heavy as the savage.

I am thinking the boyds with a bull barrel will have a good weight to it, but to avoid the front heaviness I am not sure what length to go with?

20"
18"
16"

18 inchers seem hard to find and are pricey. I have found an awesome deal on a 20" butler creek.

I also don't want the rifle to look to small, if that makes sense?
If somebody had a pic of one with 16 I would love to see it and hear from them.

Here's mine with a threaded 16" barrel but with a 2" Tactical Solutions compensator on it....essentially making it 18" long.

No problem Brocolt....
It's a Hi-Desert Dog 16" threaded blue bull spiral fluted barrel.
