In my opinion, anything over 24 inches will work and we know that 26 inches also works.
There is no reason why 27 inches won't also work beautifully.
A 27-inch barrel would be perfect for bench shooting, but I'm not sure you will want the extra barrel weight when hunting.
That decision is purely up to you and your understanding of the use you intend.
