Alright! Just got back. Update: the beer in Corvallis is still good, especially after a day on Mary's Peak.
Update on the firearms side:
The Nylon 66 ran perfect. Very accurate, even with the crappy scope ... BUT ... I couldn't change the crosshairs enough to be on target. The groups were very tight and nice, but uh ... that huge ding on the rim of the scope seems to me like the scope got knocked out of whack, because I was very consistently hitting the same durned spot with the scope. About a 1/4 inch group at 30ish yards with me in the seated position? About half a foot low, though.
All that being said though, I'm pretty happy with the rifle. While it does fell very ... distinct? odd? It shoots straight and it has a nice trigger, and recoil is very pleasant, but yeah, it has a very unique feel. I like it.
In any case, the rifle works fine, but either I'm mounting the scope wrong or it's broke. Because it groups well, it just doesn't adjust well.
All in all, fun day on the mountain, fun evening at Block 15 and je regrete rien, as they say. Maybe one day I will mount a quality scope and try it again.
