A short bipod is nice for bench use, and can be switched from rifle to rifle. A caldwell rear bag is like $20.
Go to items for new shooter to buy?

Go to a shooting school.

^^^ This.
Electronic hearing protection. Headphones are the the most affordable, in the ear the most comfortable (unless you do not like things in your ears!) With headphones you can double up with simple ear plugs for added protection. Custom in the ear can have many features and high price.
We don't have those here

Just watch credible guys on youtube, read up and study on the subject, ask questions, and practice. A shooting school isnt neccessary.

A quality rangefinder for sure! If you don't know your range to target, you are wasting time and ammo!

Get a front and rear sandbag and see what your "stock" rifle and ammo can group at 100 yards. You may be just fine with the results. Im not familiar with your scope
but a spotting scope may serve you well if the one you have is delivering results you desire.

The challenge is "we" do not know what is readily available for you or how you are going to acquire them. Local or online (import restrictions ???) acquisition. "It" might be easier to let us know what you are considering and what is readily available to you.
I ask in the post for your personal choice
I (or anyone else for that matter) have no way of knowing if "my" personal choice is readily available to you, i.e., someone suggested a shooting school.
I am just trying to get the best value to any advice. I do not do recreational advisement so good luck.

I was surprised how much a rangefinder helped me the first time I used one. you don't need the 1000yd capable ones for .223 (yet) so save some money and get a 600 yd one for much less - usually some good used ones available since many get replaced by folks wanting longer range versions.

oh, and another thing, don't drive 75 miles to your range for a day of load development, testing. Get all set up on a bench, pull you gun out of its case and realize the BOLT is back in your man cave where you greased it and set it down
