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.

More or less a solved problem with quality manufacturers these days, actually. It’s like Picatinny rail - done right, putting it back together maintains zero.
For those cantankerous Board-of-Directors meetings...
Well, that's more like it. I may get two at that price then.
For $13,000 they’re going to have to come up with something A LOT better than a Remington 700 action.
Accuracy International’s system returns to zero every time.
I’d bet they use a similar system.
I am not familiar with accuracy internationals system. That said, accuracy to me is measured at the sub half moa level. Thats reasonable to achieve with a bolt gun and good load selection. Thats much harder to achieve with a semi-auto. Add in a removable barrel and, as I said, I have my doubts.
An AR-15 with folding stock and larger briefcase would be a lot cheaper
