just bought a Cheytec 308, excited but need help.

[TargetShooting]

Last week bought a Cheytec 308 Safeside tactical at a local gun store. Put down 2k deposit, still waiting for gun and scope - said to be a three weeks wait even it's in stock at manufacture, that's a long, long wait, I will call Cheytec myself tomorrow to ask them to ship ASAP.This is my first rifle. I want to get into competition shooting after basic training on the gun.

Can experienced mid-long range rifle shooters give some advises on competing in this sport? Please consider that I am new to rifle shooting as of now, but I learn quickly and I have time to practice everyday at Talon.

Thanks in advance.
