Was testing out a recent purchase (used Savage .223 heavy barrel single shot) yesterday in the cold and snow.
Opened up both doors of the truck, rested the bipod on the passenger seat and the rear bag on the drivers seat. Still I was darn cold and uncomfortable, plus optics fogging from my breath; learned that the gun has potential (just a bit over MOA with Winchester White Box) but not really a true test.
Some of you might have a permanent shelter at your range to shoot at (which would be great) but nothing like that here.
Instead I bought an ice fishing tent off of kijiji and hope to pop that over my shooting bench and fire up a little propane heater. Will see how it works during the holidays.
Anyone have a similar or alternative setup to keep you skills sharp during the cold winter months???
