Default Barrel length.

I was killing time going back through some old articles on this forum.I ran across one article showing how to cut a barrel off.I think it was written by Semisane but since I have CRS,I might have to edit this.Anyway its a good article and it doesn't seem to require a lot of tools,,just patience.I have one fine shooting rifle,it weighs a ton,has a 28 inch barrel.I can get a light weight stock and was thinking about cutting 3 or 4 inches off it..If I cut a couple of inches off will it still be accurate if done properly??And not having a proper crown like some rifles,,will this mess things up ??My thought is that if you order a custom barrel to length you want,say with a 1-28 twist ,24 inches long,it should be just as accurate as a 25,26,28 barrel with the same twist..So I am up for thoughts n suggestions.
