I bought a magnetic collimator and I think it was well worth it!
I had one end of the barrel that wasn't exactly square (90 degree from bore). It was off by at least 1 degree (a little more than 60" at 100 yards.)
But that was very odd, I thought.
In general (all but that one rifle) it has worked very well. Now, the first thing I do when I mount a scope is check it out with the collimator.
Thanks to MD for another great recommendation.
