If i get this kit what else will in need besides a tumbler, manual, and dies?

I'd suggest you get a 6-inch caliper so you can measure case length on your rifle brass. You will need to trim them back after they get beyond maximum length per SAAMI specs.

The cheaper digital ones work just fine with the exception of battery life (about 6 months on mine). The dial gage ones never need a battery but are somewhat harder to read.

You're gonna want to get the LEE Zip-Trim! Makes short work of trimming cases.

I am still using the Lee Classic press. You might consider a digital scale. I got one and just love it.
