Buy a couple real nice rifles and you will , based on the last 10 years get a much better return on investment than any bank will pay.

TB speaks fact here. Remember the "Bank Of Boulder" that used to advertise Weatherby Mark V Rifles in lieu of interest for CD deposits in all of the gun magazines? At one time back in the late 80's and early 90's they were the biggest dealer of Weatherby factory rifles in the country. So much so there were several other banks in Minnesota and the Midwest who copied the format. There was even a "60 Minutes" segment done on them.

You would put "X" number of dollars in their bank in an FDIC insured account for "X" number of months. Instead of paying you interest on the money over time, they would give you a brand new Weatherby Mark V rifle in your choice of caliber. You would get the gun immediately and they would hold your money for the required amount of time. It wasn't a bad deal at all for someone with a few bucks looking for a nice rifle.

No one offers this anymore. I suspect low interest rates, along with the current high price of the Weatherby Mark V DeLuxe, would require the money to be tied up way too long today as compared to back then. Also, with political correctness running amok, it is less desirable for banks and other institutions to do so. Who knows, perhaps the FDIC put pressure on them? Regardless it was yet another good thing that went the way of the $1.00 gallon of gas.  Bill T.

Don't be a fool. Guns are a better, and safer investment. Buy a couple real nice rifles and you will , based on the last 10 years get a much better return on investment than any bank will pay.
This is so widely known that even Time Magazine , and Bloomberg Report have had articles about it.

A hell of a lot more fun too.
