[QUOTE="Codyg510, post: 692624, member: 49514"] I cant say i've ever killed anything at 1000 yards in freezing conditions, but i have done my share of cold weather rifle hunting. I've found that a snow covered ground can work wonders for stability when shooting prone. You may need a bi-pod that's slightly longer than your used to, but if you can get your prone body and rifle set into a good snow pack you should find the position quite stable. Building up a little snow under the stock of rifle can almost eliminate the need for rear bag. You can buy all white, waterproof, tyvek suits online for only a couple bucks a pop. They can be spray painted or muddied up to look like almost any winter environment and they slip right over any hunting gear. They also roll up into very tight balls for transport and storage. Keep your shooting hand warm until it's time to fire. There are times i've slipped two handwarmers into an insulated glove just to keep that trigger finger moving freely. It can be almost uncomfortably hot until you remove the glove, but it's worth it when it's time to fire and you need to feel the trigger. [/QUOTE]
