Big 5 Sporting Goods has a rifle called Walther Force 1000
on sale with scope for $129, down from $229.
It's a Chinese .177 break barrel with claimed 1000 fps.
It's nice looking, grooved for scope, with "Walther" 4X
scope and scope stop. Trigger group appears to be
plastic. It has a dark, monte carlo type wood stock
and decent-looking open sights too.
It appears to be a special Big5-only gun with Walther
name. Probably a close-out.
I was looking at one today in my local store. It was their
last one and while I was looking at it a European-sounding
guy snatched it up.
They also have a special on a Beeman dual-caliber rifle
for about $149 with both barrels, .177 & .22
Those appear to be selling fast too as they only had 1 or 2 left
and they had a bunch a couple weeks ago.

...is basically an AR1000. very decent gun if you get one with a good barrel - nice trigger and firing cycle, good velocity.
This makes sense, since that same basic gun is also in the Umarex lineup as the Titan.

Awesome deal on the same gun:
