I was thinking of getting either a KAC sr25 or a christensen arms ca-10. I like the availability, cheaper cost, and lighter weight of the ca-10 but was wondering how the recoil and reliability are? I was wondering what people who have experience with these think?

Significantly more recoil from the ca-10. The sr is very smooth shooting.
Fit, finish, and durability the kac wins hands down.
Nothing wrong with the ca10 in particular, but you can think of it like this:
Ca-10 is a hobby gun, the sr25 is a professional's gun.
I own an SR25 and it is a very well built firearm. Top quality components, very easy to handle and shoot. Can't speak to the other guns listed as I've never handled them but the KAC is well worth the cash in my opinion, and if you can afford it I would highly recommend it.
As you have suggested, the SR25 is not a lightweight by any stretch of the imagination, but it's recoil is not bad because of it. I've just gotten a MAMS for it, so hopefully there won't be any significant recoil at all once I've got it on. Now I just ned to learn how to shoot up to it's abilities

They're both okay, but not up to kac/lmt accuracy standards.
Once in a while you can luck out and get a great shooting dpms barrel, but the fit and finish falls behind the rest.
The lwrc repr has a reputation for not being as accurate as some other offerings in the same price range.

If you had the non fixed stock model the order would be in right now. I heard the SR25 is pretty well balanced despite its weight. Heard the LMT is pretty front heavy although I've never held one. I have an xcr-m and am not a fan of front heavy guns.

At least you can actually shot ur XCR M outside the few ranges we have.
You will want the 16 inch sr25 or the ca 10 then.
Choice is pretty easy since sr25ecc is unobtanium right now.
The mws can be run like a carbine, but you can not miss many gym days.
If you`re blasting away under 100 meters, the xcr-m is fine. It`s got a very mild recoil impulse.
It falls on it`s face at distance...
Just put it on the CC...lol
LMT get's my vote as well.
I don't own one but if I had the disposable cash to buy a 308 AR I would buy an LMT.
I've got one with the 16", a 18", and a 20" barrel.
Even with the 16" it's a beast to run as a carbine.
The 16" sr25 that I played with was much better in that regard, lighter recoil and quicker transitions from target to target due to the lighter weight.
That said, the lmt is exceptionally accurate, and is the only rifle that I'll never sell...
