I've noticed that a lot of long range target rifles have a grip that is completely vertical in their design. Is this an intentional design and what function does it serve over an angled grip (i.e. An AR-styled one, or 'regular' stock grip).
*I ask because I'm building a light mountain rifle for WY and am using an MDT chassis + a T3 .30-06. I have the choice of using an AR-style grip, or a thicker vertical grip. Am wondering why I'd go with a vertical grip over a Magpul or other type of angled grip.
