Out of the MPA and CORE match's in the last two months, I saw one, AXMC. Then I saw four to six AX308's.
Looking here on the Hide it seems like 6-6.5k for the AXMC's.
Hopefully some of the more helpful folks will chime in shortly.

Plan on $10k for an AXMC, optic, and two bolts/mag adapters/barrels. Maybe a little less for a used one, but you'll likely only get one bolt and barrel and it will be 300WM.
If you're planning to actually shoot a PRS or local PRS-style match, do yourself a favor and forget the long action magnum and stick with a short action. Many matches won't even let you shoot magnums. A 6 Creed shooting 110 SMKs will shoot right along side the best 300WM anyway, except it will be way cheaper and have less recoil. FWIW my AX short action is probably 19 lbs. with scope, bipod and mag. An AXMC is probably a pound or two heavier than that.
My advice: buy a used AT for like $3800 and never look back. If you have the ability to shoot ELR, think about an AXMC when you're out of school and have the cash to do so.

my ax308 with a sphur mount, nf atacr 5-25, and ultra 7 thunderbeast, is right at 19.5 lbs with harris and ftw sling. ran it in a multiple matches to include the NF precision match out at the whittington center back in may. worked well for me, no issues with weight
I use a AI AXMC long action in PRS matches with a S&B PMll scope, Atlas Bipod, Spuhr mount, converted to short action.
The weight of the gun is not a problem after a few matches.
They are deadly accurate & dependable as hell!!! It's a battle proven weapon that keeps on working.
The trigger is a 2 stage, 3lb thing to get used to also.
You won't look back if you get one, but you may invest in multiple barrels!!
I have 6CM, 6.5CM, 6.5x47, .308, .300WM, 338LM barrels.
If I ever get as good as my gun is, I'll be a famous shooter!!!
