The recoil characteristic, especially in regard to barrel rise (and cheek bone slapping), is not only dependent on stock design but also on the mounting technique. My .470 has relatively litte drop as it is set up for a scope - that is beneficial in general as my my barrel only rises to about 10 0'clock when I shoot it standing. However, I tend to mount my guns very high in the shoulder. I had my gun smith shoot my gun for a couple of rounds during load testing where he assisted me: He mounted the gun very low in the shoulder and was downright killed by the recoil. With his mounting style, the barrel rose over his head, gun slapping his face and the upper part of the butt biting his shoulder so much that he was seriously hurting afterwards. Mounting the gun too low in the shoulder makes for a bad angle of attack, so to speak, and leads to excessive barrel rise, just like a gun with too much drop.
