Long-Range Accuracy “So Easy — Even the Boss Can Do It”
You have to love a gun company CEO who actually gets behind the trigger. In this “behind the scenes” video made during the filming of a Savage Arms commercial in Utah, Team Savage Captain Stan Pate guides Savage CEO Ron Coburn in the use of the Savage Palma rifle chambered in .308 Winchester. Despite the somewhat wobbly shooting platform, Ron successfully hits targets at 1200 yards. Ron comes away smiling, as do members of the film crew who get “trigger time” at the end of the video.
The video has a very positive vibe and does a great job illustrating why it’s fun to shoot accurate rifles at long range. Hat’s off to Savage for putting its CEO behind the trigger. We love Stan Pate’s closing line. With a big grin, he says that the Savage rifle’s accuracy makes long-range shooting “So easy — even the Boss can do it“.

Ron Coburn is a fine example of what a rifle manufacturer’s CEO should be. He is not cast from the more common mold that has produced executives that seem to be more interested in golf than shooting, and as a result know too little about what they produce. I have shot Savages since before he took over the company, and he has done great things for that company, as evidenced by how popular their rifles have become.
Looks like they had fun. Maybe some of the crew were being introduced to shooting for the first time.
Judging from the stock, that actually looks like the Savage Palma rifle, not the F-TR rifle.
