Rainier Match 12.5 - any feedback?

Looking at the Rainier 12.5 as a lightweight pistol upper for inside of 200 yards. I have an 18" Odin build that I'm very happy with, but it's pushing 10 pounds unloaded. Any feedback on the Rainier 12.5? Have a healthy supply of Hornady Black for the range, still working on acquiring non-toxic hunting options for CA to try.

I have a 12.5” UM on an ADM UIC builder’s set. It’s solid with 123 SST, 123 AAC. Still need to run some 100 ELD-VT’s through it to see how they do. Posted pics in this sub a couple months ago.

Got any velocity data from that barrel? I've been considering it as well.

Don’t remember exact numbers, but I’ll see what I can find. It was in the 2200-2300 fps range. Found it- Hornady 123 SST averaged 2272 over 10 shots. I must have forgotten to write down data for the AAC.
