My experience causes me to suspect that the non-shooting tasks cannot be adequately learned by reading a book.
My experience likewise causes me to suspect that the shooting tasks cannot be adequately learned by reading a book.
My experience has caused me to conclude that the best way to become proficient with a precision rifle - or any other kind - is to procure one good system, and spend time and money on training, practice, and ammo.
Reading may enable one to understand technical aspects of one's experience with a rifle in one's hand, and to refine the thinking which is necessary to the successful employment of the precision rifle - but first you'd better be shooting.

Yes.
Additionally, I could tell you that there is everything I needed to know about anything in a Library, but it doesn't mean I can open my mouth to the firehose of information presented to me. It's how you use the information, which requires retention, which requires understanding the basics, which requires repetition.
