20" is perfectly fine, even more so if you plan on adding a suppressor.

Is there a distinct gap in your collection that this one will be filling?
You're not the same guy that said that he'd seen a .270 bullet bounce right off of an elk's hindquarters, are you?
Don't want to be confrontational but while I have never had a bullet bounce of an elk I shot at a moose and was pretty darn sure I hit it. It was a cow moose that was bedding down. It stood up and I fired at between 200 and 250 meters. The moose walked away with no apparent injury. I found the bullet which looked like it had never been fired laying on the frozen snow where the moose was laying down. The bullet a imperial 130 grain saber tip (some kind of nylon tip on it) .270 Winchester. From a browning auto rifle which on a cold day say below -30 was nothing more than single shot. While the bullet did not bounce off it simply dropped to the ground right below where the moose was standing. Never seen anything like that or never will. What happened I do not know. But it did happen. It was pretty cold maybe -40. But I have taken lots of game in the dead of winter with that very rifle using that very same ammo.
