Default Rifle Wrap

Could wrapping my a sheet(white) to blend it with the snow cause the barrel to overheat quickly? or cause any other problems, i thought perhaps my scopes adjustments, but ive cut everything that was tight around them away and theres nothing blocking bold,mag, action, trigger or anything, just i have it wrapped around my barrel, wondering if it will cause it to overheat?

Anyone know whether or not it will?

How many shots are you planning on taking, if your trying to hide your obviously not at the range. What are you hunting? A few shots won't matter, especially in the winter.

Unless the sheet is wrapped 3" thick, dipped in kerosene, and lit on fire... . I can't imagine 2-3 shots having any overheating issues. I would go for it man.

There will be no over heating issues with that setup.

Looks like a coyote rig if I ever saw one.
