Leupold Optics has teamed up with Gunwerks to develop the new Accountant Rifle, a limited-edition, compact, tactical bolt-action rifle with parts that either fully collapse or disassemble in order to fit inside a standard-size business briefcase. This one-of-a-kind rifle itself is built around a Remington 700 pattern short-action and is chambered in .308 Win. The Accountant makes use of a quick-detach .308 Win. 17.5-inch 416R stainless steel barrel that is also suppressor ready. Crowning the receiver of The Accountant bolt action rifle is a Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30mm riflescope with a PR1 MOA reticle. The Mk5 HD 2-10x30 mm is one Leupold’s highest grade yet smallest “full-size” traditionally magnified tactical scopes. This member of the Leupold Mk5 HD scope family is well-suited for engagements from 10 to 1,000 yards, making it an natural extension of this rifle.
The Accountant isn’t just a rifle, however; it’s a complete rifle system that is fully contained in a locking leather briefcase. Custom-fit foam inside the briefcase ensures that the rifle is protected during transport.
The Accountant Rifle Features:
.308 Win. Federal Custom Shop ammo (100 rounds included) JTAC chassis with a collapsible stock Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30mm scope 17.5-inch stainless steel machined barrel with a titanium sleeve suppressor Two five-round magazines The Federal Premium Custom shop also participated in this project by developing customized .308 Win. loads optimized to be shot from this compact bolt-action rifle. These custom-loaded projectiles make use of Federal’s 175-grain Terminal Ascent projectile. This classic rifle chambering was selected for its performance potential with barrel lengths as short as 11.5 inches.

It had better be - they want 13.5k for the thing.
A good accountant can embezzle that much in no time at all.
True.
But this particular rifle is chambered in .308 Winchester.
You do get a custom leather briefcase with that price, so you need to factor that in.
an accountant moonlighting as 007
The optic alone is nearly $2K. A little out of reach for your average accountant.
Stop by the Holland & Holland gun room in Dallas some time if you want to see some truly high-dollar rifles.
Not that I can afford this one even, but it’s in the realm of “yeah, I could sell the car and ride a bike”, whereas the H&H are so far out of the question it’s a matter of pure abstraction.
*** 6.5 Creedmor ***
When Obama put the squeeze on ammo makers and the market dried up, our local store which used to have plenty of ammo, only had empty shelves, but plenty of 6.5 Creedmor ammo. No one had rifles for it.
I have to laugh, on one of my Arizona firearms forums, there was a democrat stooge with the screen name Accountant.
Bolt action slows you down some if you have multiple assailants with which to deal.
I’m disappointed; I thought it was gonna be tailored for shooting accountants. I don’t really have any accountants to shoot, but was anticipating that the next gun in the lineup would be the Lawyer Rifle. 🤨😂
I’ve seen two movies of that type by Affleck, I think he fits that type of role extremely well.
Ok, the thing 'looks' dope, but I have my doubts about accuracy/repeatability with the barrel being removable.
So would assembling it from the briefcase. I don’t think it’s meant to be used up close.
I thought this would be the IRS rifle that Obama ordered for the department.
