What do you do to keep rust at bay, keep your rifle in top shape, etc?

Rust seems to form much more slowly at lower temps. Your biggest problem will be taking the rifle in and out of a heated environment, which is a good way to encourage ice formation in places like the bolt/firing pin/trigger. For the most part if the rifle stays cold your life will be easier.

Your normal lube/cleaning routine will probably work just fine. Just avoid putting the gun through those temp swings.
