Welcome to the boards!
24 is long for a hunting AR. But longer is better if you are shooting out past 300-400 yards.
You really need to define the terrain you plan on hunting, the amount you plan on walking that terrain, etc.
No one can really make that choice but you. That said, if you buy the 24 and it is too bulky, you can always have it cut and recrowned. You can't make a 20" longer!
