New airgun shooter

Hi,
Just brought an airgun that is not a kids “bb gun” and looking to start shooting both field target and benchrest matches.
New to airguns but not to competitive shooting. I am double distinguished (service rifle and service pistol) and president’s hundred with rifle. Shot on a national team, competing internationally. Retired from all that now, and want to shoot fun matches and not get beat up by recoil and nosies.
Got a RWS mod 54. Looking for recommendations for scope and mounts. I am now 67 years old and likes lighted reticles and big dots and lighter weight gear. Will be looking for post on best practices and gear for the various types of match venues.
Thanks to all in advance for your knowledge.
