I'm guessing the newer SR-25 models (whichever were shown at SHOT Show 2012) that have the URX-III fore-end (correct me if I'm wrong) would be closest to the REPR in the sense that it has a fore-end with rail attachments that connect where the user needs them, rather than full length rails on all four sides.
No SR-25 will have the FAL-esque side charging handle like the REPR.
All KAC rifles (SR-15 & SR-25 series) on the market are DI.
Found this on arfcom regarding the newer SR-25 offerings from KAC:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I'll give a bit of a break down as to how things are going. Enhanced Match (EM) series for all intensive purposes is being rename so that means that once we sell the remaining EMC's and EMR in stock they will not be available again.
Now here is what we will be showing at SHOT:
The Enhanced Rifle (ER) is essentially the same as EMR just with the uprgraded ejection port and associated door assembly.
Enhanced Carbine (EC) is a 16" heavy bbl non-ball milled lightened barrel, no dimples, and a non-chrome lined barrel at a very reasonable price to be announced at SHOT.
The Enhanced Combat Series
Enhanced Combat Rifle (ECR) will feature a 20" bbl with our new URX 3.1 rail system, QDC flash hider, collapsible butt stock assembly, & 45 degree offset BUIS
Enhanced Combat Carbine (ECC) will have a 16" chrome lined dimpled bbl with the URX 3.1, QDC flash hider, Carbon cutter Bolt Carrier, & 45 degree offset BUIS
The enhanced combat series will have the latest features we have coming out. However the ER and EC are intended to be price point guns that still offer very capable systems at some of the lowest price we have ever sold SR-25's for.Hopefully this will answer some questions floating out there.
If I had which model is closer the EMC I wold say it is the Enhanced Combat Carbine or ECC and here's a list of features both models share:
16" chrome lined dimpled bbl with flashider granted the ECC has an updated version of this.
carbon cutter bolt carrier
enhanced ejection port and door assembly
enhanced buffer and tube assembly.
However the older EMC happens to share a few feature with the Enhanced Carbine or EC as well:
Rifle length URX II
M110 flash hider
enhanced ejection port and door assembly
From top to bottom
SR-25 ECR 10.4lbs P/N 30289 MSRP $5,618.75
SR-25 ECC 9.12lbs P/N 30313 MSRP $5,743.75 (upgraded EMC)
...Ambi bolt release and safety
...16" Dimpled barrel (barrel is .7 lb lighter than EC)

Now, what is it about the REPR you're interested in, exactly? Which features/configurations? The 16" and 20" barreled uppers will do everything that an SR-25 can do. A REPR won't say "KAC SR-25" on it but it'll do the same job just as well/accurately/efficiently, if not cleaner since it's a piston rifle, and will eb manufactured of the same/matching quality.
LWRC's in-house made NiCorr treated barrels kick ass also, and they're rated at twice the service life of a mil-spec/USGI issued barrel.
I own a REPR, but I'm not gonna be biased here or start a DI/Piston debate (I hate those.) If I had to pick a DI AR that fired 7.62 NATO/.308, I'd go with an SR-25 carbine.
