[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 233199, member: 8843"] If the gun is bedded properly and their is suffecient relief around the barrel to allow for a little movement in the wood from the temp and humidity change (assuming its wood) their should be no differance in the weapon. BUT , some factory ammo will have some changes with big temp swings as will some handloaded ammo depending on the powder and primers used. I have put my loaded ammo in the freezer to check the differances in velocity and such before going on a hunt up north as our winters rarely get to the freezing point for more than a few hrs at a time so if i make my ammo and shoot it and all is well at 50 deg then go to Alberta and its -10 then i want to know what the rifle is gonna do their , reguardless I always shoot once at the camp to make sure everything is working correctly. another thing you may want to thing about is the oil or greese used to lube the internals , some of that stuff will freeze down close to zero degrees.
