Where would I look for a Phoenix .22?

Gentlemen,

I would like to find a Whitney Arms Phoenix in .22. I believe they called these their gallery rifles. I only need a shooter grade gun.

As far as resources, I am a member of ASSRA and also get the Single Shot Exchange. 

Where else should I be looking?  I have two other Phoenix's, one was bought locally of all places and the other came from Cherrys.  Frankly, I lucked into both of them.

It would be nice to have the .22 to round out the existing 45-70 and 12 Ga.
Is this just a pipe dream, or do you think there is a realistic chance of finding a rifle?

Thank you for your thoughts,
Steve

I can't recall seeing over 1 or 2 Pheonix rifles totl at all the gun shows I've gone to. They must be pretty scarce, especially so in .22.
I guess you will have to hit the gun show circuit and check all of the online auctions.

I have only ever held one Phoenix .22 rf. They are not exactly thick on the ground. I would suggest picking up the first Phoenix you come across and converting it to .22rf.

I will just keep my eyes open and watch the auction sites. I don't get to go to many gun shows because of the travel aspect.

Thanks everyone for the comments and Grampa, I hope your right!

Steve
