Others Benjamin Kratos groundhog slayer

Got this Missouri grizzly bear ie groundhog with the Kratos 25 caliber at 25 yards Sunday afternoon. Donny FL Tatsu to keep things quiet and shooting Air Arms Diabolo Field 25.4 grain pellets. Another one bites the dust!

Nice! What kinda speed/power does it lay down? Don't hear much about that gun...

Shooting at 926 fps. 48.6 foot pounds of energy with 25.4 grain pellets. This rifle continues to impress me!

You can imagine the massive holes they dig under my storage shed messing up the foundations! And this one was smaller than the last one I eliminated. I hate these things as they are so destructive.

I really like mine! Super accurate and powerful.

I ordered a 700cc carbon fiber bottle for more shots but for the life of me I can't get the original bottle to break free even using a rubber strap wrench. I've taken off and upgraded bottles many times on multiple rifles but this one's got me stumped. Tried a hair dryer on high heat but no help. Any ideas?

Have you tried soaking the threads with WD-40 Silicone or another synthetic based lubricant? Let it sit for a couple days and try the rubber strap wrench again.

Are you completely sure that there's no pressure in the bottle? I doubt that it's like the one on the impact where you can unscrew it with pressure in it.

Just used silicone oil around the part it screws into and let sit overnight. Bottle is completely degassed and gun is empty for sure. I'll wait until tomorrow afternoon and try the strap wrench again while heating again with hair dryer.

Positively empty of compressed air. Maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow after it soaks in silicone at the threads. Thanks everyone for the tips!
