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.

Which gunpowder in cold winter temperatures ?

H4895 ?
ref:
"H4895 is part of Hodgdon's Extreme line,
known for consistent performance across
various temperatures, minimizing velocity
changes in different climates"

Fed 209A ?
ref:
"using hotter primers like Federal 209A
can improve ignition reliability in colder weather

Vihtavuori (Nammo) ?
ref:
"Vihtavuori powders are known for their temperature
stability, maintaining consistent burn rates
from -20°C to 52°C"

I have used a pack, a nylon cutting board and split firewood under a bi-pod in New Zealand on snow and frozen tussock. I found shale slides the worst thing to shoot off.
Winter camo only works on animals with colour vision.
209A primers are for shotguns.
Any of the Extreme powders work in cold, as do ball powders with hot enough primers.
Scopes filled with Argon or Nitrogen should allow very cold weather use and not to affect the internals, however, anything can freeze if cold enough and exposed long enough.

Cheers.
