Dik, colt has this thing about front pin sizes..I would make sure that the pin size would allow for any upper and not just a Colt!

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but this review states it can take any mil-spec upper available. We all know anybody can be mistaken, but all the reviews I've read on it point towards any of them working. It does, however, need to change out the recoil system for the .308 vs. .223/5.56. I haven't been able to find any just lowers and adapter yet, but hopefully we'll be able to in the future. It sounds to me as though the .308 upper is proprietary though. But on a good note, the lower is all ambidextrous.

Thats a really nice rifle, I think I will stay with my Icon..besides being a wonderful gift, being a bolt action, I can afford to feed it. It also makes me be more precise with the first shot instead of thinking "if I miss I have a quick follow up or 4" LOL

I need to start shooting that way more often. Trying to anyway. I'm sure you've seen my videos and, well, enough said. I figured I'd wait to get a .308 before that though. Gotta justify just making noise somehow, waiting for a .308 is it for me 
I really like the .308. handloading you can really make some good bullets. I have some 130gr Noslers that run 3100fps. Great loads, dont hurt when you shoot and super accurate. using the same load data that I use for my 150gr and 160gr. I dont like to shoot any heavier bullet than that in it.
