Pheonix arms HP22

[Mariner]

Help, When my dad passed away I became the owner of his pheonix arms HP 22 handgun. Just for the fun of it I want to mount a red dot scope on it so I can use it at the local bullseye shoots, but I can't figure out if there is a good way to mount a red dot on it. Anyone have any suggestions for me.

Thanks

Dude, it's a phoenix! It doesn't need that red dot crap, just point it in the general direction of the bulls eye and squeeze off a round, the gun takes care of the rest.

Actually I have one and found it to be pretty accurate, jam prone and fun to shoot.

Yep, thats what the guy at the gun shop said today as well. As my eyes are not that good anymore I have gone to plan B. I bought a bridge mount for my Walther p22 and a holographic sight for it. I will still take the pheonix and play with it to see how I do. My dad probably only put 20 rounds through the Pheonix so I will still have to work all the bugs out of it.

_{Stick with standard velocity ammo in the HP22. The frame is very thin in some places and they are known to have frame cracking problems if you use excessive amounts of high velocity ammo in them. For the money (a little over $100), they are a great value and also pretty accurate for their size. If you do want to put a red dot on it check these out.}

Thanks, looked at the sites and probably will not bother putting a sight on it. The gun means to much to me, being about the only thing of my fathers that I could get before my witch of a sister sold everthing. I don't want to drastically alter the thing by taking off the ribs. Also thanks for the info about the ammo.
