Suggestions on 98c Set up

For my starter gun, I am planning on buying a:

• Black Tippman 98 Custom
• Blue Extreme Rage 45 omega Timer Grip
• 16" J&J Cermaic Barrel
• Red dot sight

Is this a good setup for my starter gun? I will mostly play woodsball, but I don't want a gun that I can never play a good speedball match with either. As also is evident, I don't have that much spare cash to spend. What do you think?

If you play mostly woodsball maybe look into the camo 98. Its what I have- plus if u get camo now u wont need to paint it urself later(if u wanted it camo) J&J ceramic 16" is good- 14" is better just dont go over 16" the timer grip sounds good. Red dot sight sounds good.

For mostly woodsball I think this will work pretty well. I agree with one of the other recomendations of getting the Sticky grip. It is more comfortable but the draw back is that it has to slid off the frame every time you open the marker. Maybe you will have few problems but I pull mine apart all the time from fixing problems to cleaning broken paint out of the action. You might take a look at the Stone Cold II barrel. No reason for the double trigger  without the E-Bolt or E-Grip.

Oh, the Red Dot sight is a good idea. Best deal I have found is from Cabalas. They have the BSA Red Dot for 22 rifles and pellet guns, for only $19. Been using one on my marker for a year. Good battery life...if you remember to turn it off after a days paintballing.

Ok, the main reason I was gettin the timer grip was b/c it came free with my gun.

About upgrading to the pro, One of my friends recently bought one and even though he likes it very well, from what i hear I think I'm going to just buy the 98c. While it does come with an improved barrel, I think i still would end up buying an aftermarket one, which kinda defeats the purpose. Also, i don't think a drop foward would be neccissary for me, and I'm fine with a  single trigger as well.

I think the only real thing I'm debating on right now is my barrel. I'm looking to spend around $35 on one, and I can't decide weather to get a 14" J&J Cermaic or a 14" Spart Parts Teardrop. I want a cheap one (obviously), but I don't want to sacrifice quality. I want an accurate, quiet barrel that is easy to clean, rarely chops and will work just fine with cheaper paint. Any suggestions?
