Picked up this 15Deg grip for an AR for longer reach. Coupled it with a fixed stock with a bit longer length of pull and am very happy with the results. The more vertical grip angle works well in a precision shooting scenario from seated, kneeling, and prone positions in my configuration, compared to the standard grip angle I have used. The grip is durable, and seems to be pretty consistent regardless of temperature.
