What model is it? Sounds like a model 12, a nice varmint rifle. .204 is a flat shooting, accurate round suitable for game up to coyote. Using it on deer sized game and larger is a highly debated topic.

When the dealer said its a "bench rest" gun, he meant its most comfortable and accurate when shot of a rest. A rest can be a rolled up jacket, a bipod, a table, etc; anything you can "rest" or lay the gun on while shooting.

Before entering competions, you should head to your local range (hopefully its your backyard) and practice practice practice. With the gun you have and the right ammo (guns are brand picky, find the ammo your gun shoots best) you should be putting 3-5 rounds into a 1" circle at 100 yards.

Best of luck to you.
