I thought that they were OK in 22 Hornet, 222, 223, and 30-30, but they always seemed a little on the "iffy" side for the 225.
I had a new Savage 342-S in 22 Hornet for awhile. I sold it to a fellow in northern NY to collected them and who used to post here, but cancer caught up with him. The 342-S have a cut checkered walnut stock and came with the factory peep sight.
I've have a 225 now that I haven't had a chance to shoot. Need to mount a scope and get it to the range.
