The AK-12 is a 4 hit kill by default - it has no 3 hit kill unless you headshot. The range and accuracy are nice, but the 4 hit kill makes it a bit weak in Core. Think of it as an M27 of sorts. As well, the fire rate is mediocre at 720 RPM.

The R.I.P does makes it a 4 hit kill at all ranges (before it dropped down to 5 bullets), but your magazine is pretty small, and Extended Mags brings it on par with the Feeder's default mag.

I personally like the Feeder better. You have an extra mag and you have 3 extra bullets in your magazines (so 15 extra bullets), and you sacrifice hip-fire capability.
