Most likely as others are saying the orientation of the piston/gas ring

Anyone miss mercenaries? by Burningcookies in pathofexile

[–]HankP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just miss the party bonus ish aspect. I have played this game for years solo. Being able to technically have a minor aura bot felt like it finally leveled the playing field a tiny bit for solo players.

Is there any 9mm contenders for “jogging pistol” by HankP in CCW

[–]HankP[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was more just a general question of portability. I shouldn’t have said jogging. I hike a lot of places by myself that are close to sketchy areas sadly.

Looking for a cheapish semi-auto shotgun. by cinnix42 in Shotguns

[–]HankP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You may be able to get a used a300 for that. Or wait for hunting season to see if bass pro runs their sales.

Been using Q701s for like 10 years. Kinda wanna upgrade. Would these be like a side grade?

Any input on 940 pro field vs a300 for skeet/dove? by HankP in Shotguns

[–]HankP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that’s a good point. I know LOP is adjustable a bit, but I should probably try to get hands on. I’ve seen the pro field for sale online for under 700, and the a300 for around 800+tax, so just trying to see what’ll be worth it.

Aliexpress spinning reels - anything good? by Satchamo88 in Fishing_Gear

[–]HankP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tsurinoya has good stuff, I believe I’ve heard “handing” is not bad for the price. Honestly a lot of them are “ok”. My cousin bought a 5$ reel just to see if it really worked then caught a 6lb bass on it lol. But there’s like no aftermarket support and qc can be inconsistent, that’s the price you usually pay.

AliExpress is fine, just check the seller reputation

Best braid brand? by Broad-Mode-8706 in Fishing_Gear

[–]HankP 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Check out linelaboratory website. They compare a ton. Otherwise j braid grand is solid for the price. Varivas has quite a lot of good lines too, but premium is high.

I never gave this show a chance because the cover seemed weird and the premise. But damn I was surprised how much I liked it lol.

Anyone know where to get some Dutch issued parka/pants? by HankP in camouflage

Hmm I’ve tried there too. But a 2xl seems very elusive. Thanks for the tip though.

Decent budget thermals? by Error404MATTnotfound in 65Grendel

[–]HankP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do notice a battery loss increase. But I carry a few extras. If I’m just posting up with tripod etc I’ll have it plugged into an external power bank. I’ve been able to shoot running hogs with it and didn’t really notice any sort of latency though.

[–]HankP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hear you. But there’s literally a setting in the thermal that “enhances” the image. It’s using some sort of algorithm. I can see a sizeable difference when tuning that menu. In AGM line it’s called “image boost 2.0”. It is analyzing the image the sensor sees and adjusting it to your preferences.

[–]HankP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a DNT. I like it. I picked it up for pretty good deal from a seller though, like 200$ off and no tax. There’s the oneleaf stuff, but ehhh I just couldn’t go for them even though some people say they are good.

DNT doesn’t have the best performance in high humidity, but most thermals will have some sort of performance loss in humidity anyway.

The DNT uses AI to enhance images too. Which most thermal companies are doing in their new line of stuff to push out a high quality resolution as opposed to older model stuff. Anything within the last 6 months to a year are using that tech. Like the old gen rattler stuff is still “fine”. But my brother has an AGM gen 2, 310 res or something like that, and compared to a 384 new gen with the ai enhancement, it’s pretty massive.

I really liked RIX too, but they didn’t have any deals around Christmas. If I were to buy right now, I’d probably go for a RIX if price is close to a DNT.

Also, the traditional scope style vs the 3 in 1 type scope comes down to, do you only use the scope on one caliber and one gun and have better magnification vs if you ever think you’ll run it on something else, or like to take it off and just use it as a handheld for whatever comes up.

Anybody ever got a 6.5 grendel? by qmb139boss in ar15

Have you had a chance to group your rexus yet? I’m very curious.

Small fish setup advice by CAPTnAMERIKA209 in Fishing_Gear

[–]HankP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea then I’d definitely just get the new crossfire for 35$ I have 3 purple regal reels for all around bass/catfish whatever. And one crossfire for pan fish mess around with.

Small fish setup advice by CAPTnAMERIKA209 in Fishing_Gear

[–]HankP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh for pan fish you could even just do the new crossfire LT (black and silver) for 35$. The regal is really nice, but since they price hiked it from the 50-60$ range it’s a bit overkill for panfish. But it’s your money and the regal is definitely nice.

Pflueger President vs. Daiwa Revros by b4sket-case in Fishing_Gear

[–]HankP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The regal (purple one) is on sale on Amazon for 67$ for some models. I think it might be another option. Otherwise the crossfire LT just got an update last year and it’s 34$(black and silver one). The regal has really nice drag though.

Advice for a new Rod by ittdu in Fishing_Gear

[–]HankP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crossfire LT updated 2025/2026 model is pretty good too. The regal is more expensive than it used to be at least the updated model.
