Does this barrel need to be elevated, as I see others are recommended to be?

We elevated ours because we wanted to for the look in the garden and not wanting to bend over to cut on the water spout. I cannot answer the question if it needed to be. My guess is not since you use the diverter that comes with it.

If you want to put a watering can under the spigot it has to be elevated. Even to attach a hose it helps to be elevated so there is enough room for the hose to bend without putting pressure on the spigot, which is plastic. I have mine up on six inch retaining wall bricks. That works well.

I elevated mine. Is it necessary? Prob not. I put an extra spigot below the original one because the original one is quite hi. It leaves a lot of unused water in barrel.

Mine was fine.... I used a bubble level on top turret. I love the scope. No problems. Scope is a bit big. I even put a shade on it. Im using a warne mount. 16 fluted target barrel. im shooting quarter(coin) sized groups at 100 yards.... but no issues with retical tilt or slant. about 200 rounds in so far...Hope this helps...

No. This is a smooth bore barrel. It's a great barrel though. I love it on my 98 custom.

That's what I bought it for, and it didn't. However, I think if my barrel were on a stand or just higher off the ground, it would have. I just ran out of patience.

The gas block though is what you'll need to look into. And maybe a gas tube. Not sure if gastube is gona have a slightly different bend in it or not.I've built several so far but not with a bull barrel yet. Let me know how she turns out.

Yes. I'd further recommend getting a barrel with a removable lid so you can reach deep into barrel to affix the legs.

I didn't need a riser. It appeared as though there was adequate height to the optic itself. But to be fair I didn't keep it on my weapon very long.

Bottom of clamp where the screws attach seems rounded to allow for clearance. (Different problem) clamp may need to be modified to use with aftermarket barrels.

It's not recommended. Without the key to keep the lower pins in the barrel, you will have to reset the lower pins and springs. It's definitely do-able but difficult and time consuming.

I have my little heater since 2011. I have it slightly elevated off the floor. Bought one of those decorative pedestals from Ballard Designs. No problem elevated. As long as the entire unit is sitting on a flat surface.

Perfectly. You can also use a riser and do a lower cowitness if you prefer.

Out the top as in overflow! You have to drain part of the saved water out if the barrel is completely full which could be a pain if there's a downpour.

Don't worry, the internal design diverts water to the outlet for the barrel. I wondered the same thing, but my barrel is always full

No. I just put a marlin 30-30 lever action in mine and it will lever down about halfway before it hits the beam on the bottom. rotate the gun sideways a bit though and it will just fine.PS- the back rest that holds the but of the rifle is stationary in that it cant be raised or lowered. The front part can but you would have to raise it really high and then you would be shooting up in the sky. the two screws along the center beam lift the whole rest up and down on the rear, not just the rear but rest. PSS - two replies down - what the heck is a "moist natant"

No, you're set. Make sure you are satisfied with the height before completing install. The lower the better.

This is a standard height so as long as you don't buy a low profile or gas block height and mount it on the rail you should be fine

The barrel. It needs some type of adaptor to prevent it from moving on the barrel.
