Gunwerks is known for crafting exceptional firearms built for superior accuracy at long range. Their rifles are meticulously designed and crafted to provide shooters with the most accurate rifles possible, while offering world-class ergonomics and a lightweight design. Their Skunkwerks line of rifles takes this philosophy to the next level, demonstrating a masterclass in rifle design and precision. Gunwerks introduces Skunkwerks’ newest masterpiece: The Accountant.

The Accountant is a bolt-action, integrally suppressed, compact, take-down bolt action rifle chambered in .308 that securely fits in a briefcase. Its discreet appearance ensures that you can move freely and act decisively when the time calls for it.

The beauty of The Accountant lies in its rifle system, completely contained within a locking leather briefcase with custom-fit foam to protect your rifle while traveling. Within the briefcase, you will find a JTAC chassis system with a collapsed stock, a 17.5” stainless steel barrel with a titanium sleeve(suppressor), and 100 rounds orFederal Custom Shop Ammo, and the Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30mm scope.

The JTAC chassis and collapsible stock are the foundation of this prestigious build. The Accountant offers a compact design, robust build quality, and unparalleled attention to detail rarely seen at this level. This combination of elements creates the base for the silky smooth and elegant action, a clean and crisp trigger, and the compact design that everyone desires in a bolt action rifle. The collapsing stock creates a profile of just 3” at its widest point, unlike the bulky design of folding stocks. This design allows The Accountant to easily fit in its custom leather briefcase.

On top of The Accountant sits a Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30mm scope, enabling the rifle to reach targets up to 500 yards. This scope allows the shooter to positively identify the intended target and engage with ease.

The Skunkwerks 17.5” barrel is meticulously machined from a single piece of 416R stainless steel, with a 6-baffle stack intricately cut to manage gases. The titanium sleeve covers the length of the barrel and baffle stack, guiding the expelled gases forward down the barrel. This well-executed design allows for shots fired to be suppressed to a manageable 140 dB.

For ammo selection, Skunkwerks chose the highest performing .308 rounds to achieve optimal performance out of an 11.5” barrel. To achieve this ambitious goal, Skunkwerks teamed up with Federal Custom Shop to develop a round specifically for this unique build. The result is the 175-grain Terminal Ascent projectile, which is optimized for ballistic efficiency while maintaining substantial energy release upon the intended target.

The Accountant by Gunwerks is more than just a rifle; it is a testament to the fusion of precision engineering, innovative design, and unparalleled craftsmanship. This limited release showcases the pinnacle of firearm technology, providing a compact yet powerful solution for the discerning shooter. Retailing at $13,500, The Accountant offers an exclusive opportunity to own a piece of Gunwerks’ legacy of excellence.
