Hey guys,

I'm a student looking to get into paintball (woodsball, scenarios). I have some experience having gone paintballing 5/6 times.

I'm looking at getting starting marker package based around a Tippman 98 Custom. Id like to be able to buy a package that allows me to play straight away, so marker/hopper/gas/mask/pots etc etc (Im part of a group of 4, so any bulk packages are welcome).

My budget is ~ £150.

Id also like to add a stock and a new barrel, with my absolute priority being accuracy (not included in budget).

Any help/information/link is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Joe

Thinking about this Tippmann Sierra One package:

with this barrel:

Any thoughts?

You can't go wrong with the Sierra One, it is a 98 with lipstick, damn fine marker. I have the same Proto barrel for one of my A5's adn I can't complain but there are better barrels out there. Google Lapco or J&J barrels. They cost about the same as the Proto and people here seem to swear by them.

That's a fairly solid package for a beginner. the Sierra One is a rugged, simple marker that is great to start with.
