My opinion, based on my experience, worth exactly what you paid for it.
Actually people with longer necks, rounder shoulders and woman do quite well with "hog back" stocks. My wife shoots a .375H&H and a CZ .22 both with that style of stock, they fit her well. And they are both scoped, as for me Iron sights or nothing on both of them.
