I got a Grizzly gunsmith lathe last year and have been tinkering with it for a little while. I've made parts for a couple of Form 1 suppressors, threaded some barrels, finish chambered a short chambered barrel, made some tractor and lawn mower parts, and created a big pile of metal shavings. Easy stuff so far. I'm going to start on this project soon. It will be my first full barrel fitting job.
I had a GA Precision built .243 Win several years ago. It was chambered for some Corbon produced ammo using David Tubbs 115 grain bullet. I bought several hundred rounds of loaded ammo (loaded on Lapua brass!) and 2000 of the 115 gr DTAC bullets. I ended up selling the rifle at some point but kept the ammo and bullets. This rifle will be chambered for the 115 grain rounds.
My list of components are:
I'll post updates as I make progress but it's looking pretty awesome so far.

My list of components are:
- Curtis Custom Axiom action. Rem 700 footprint, 60 degree bolt throw, pinned rail and lug, coated bolt
- Triggertech trigger
- Manners EH1 stock with Gen 2 mini-chassis (my first Manners...this thing is awesome)
- Brux 29" Remington varmint contour 1-7.5" twist SS barrel
I'll post updates as I make progress but it's looking pretty awesome so far.
