[QUOTE="trubkir17, post: 2387146, member: 112555"] I am with the OP I will take -40C to +40C every day all day. I remember the winter of 1989/90 it was super cold around Christmas and the news showed someone in Whitehorse cutting a quart of oil open and pulling it like it was taffy. My brother and I had hunted a special draw in Alberta that year called the Camp Wainwright Deer hunt. It is a deer hunt on an army base. It was so cold my old dodge powerwagon heater lines were frozen but the coolant circulated in the engine so we hunted. I don't know if it was -40C in the cab but it had to be close. We drove with the windows open so our breath didn't fog the windows. We ended up taking a couple of doe mule deer to end the misery. When we got home those deer were as solid as a rock and took 3 days to thaw. We had a Ruger 77, and Remington 760, both in 30-06 with cheap scopes. Both shots were around 100yds and we each got them with 1 shot. Ignorance is bliss. I know I didn't take any ballistic considerations into account just held on the chest and fired. Whenever I think of this hunt it makes me think of what hell a poor german private must have had to go through in 1941. [/QUOTE]
