Walther Force 1000 rifle
« on: September 22, 2007, 11:29:09 AM »
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.
