A snow camouflage stock can help blend your rifle into the winter environment, reducing visibility. Look for stocks made from materials that resist cold temperatures and moisture. As for barrels, consider using a stainless steel barrel, which is less prone to rust and can handle cold weather better than carbon steel.
 
The first time I shot my 50 caliber Noreen in deep snow, I put a large blanket down so my bipod wouldn't drop so deep in the snow. I smashed the snow down under the blanket. When I fired the first round, it blew so much snow into my face I spent a few minutes pulling it out of my beard. Good thing I was wearing glasses! Point is, it's a bit different in deep snow.
