Help decide 6mm ARC barrel length

[12Bravo20]

I didn't realize until this morning that I accidentally ordered the Arken SH4 6-24 MOA reticle when I wanted the SH4 6-24 MIL reticle. I contacted Arken asking if I could swap scopes since my order hasn't shipped yet. They got back with me within 30 minutes letting me know that they switched my order from the MOA reticle to the MIL reticle. I wasn't even expecting a reply until Tuesday (tomorrow is a holiday), so getting a fast reply surprised me.

Now for the wait to get the Arken delivered so I can compare it to the Swampfox Patriot.

Sub-308 class shell, heavy for caiber bullets, I think I would go 20".

It's a little lighter contour then what I'd call a h-bar, a h-bar in my head is full of close to it diameter for the chamber to the gas block, then .750 to the muzzle. This one is, about a inch of full diameter then a quick taper to .840 it's that to the gas block the after the block it's.740. I think I like this contour better then the full diameter barrels. With everything on and a bcg from a different gun this upper balances about 2.5" back from the center of the upper, so with the lower on it maybe not to heavy in the hand. So even tho this is a bench gun it may not be to bad when I take it out to pop some deer with it or some varmint . Don't think I'll have everything for deer season this year.
