Default RE: custom rifle?

I've owned a custom Remington 700 7mm mag in the past, but sold it several years ago. I just don't like the 700 action. Right now I'm toying with the idea of having one of my Sakos semi-customized. It's a .300 Weatherby and I'm thinking about sending it to Hill Country Rifles for a new Lilja or Krieger barrel chambered in .300 Winchesterand some action truing to boot. I think the factory trigger is okay and it's already bedded into the factory stock, so those are items that won't have to be addressed.

However, I keep wondering to myself why should I bother with this. Why should I spend another $700 on a perfectly fine rifle.In fact, all of my rifles are more than accurate enough already. What ishaving a match grade barrel installed going to accomplish? And the answer I keep comingback to is "probably nothing". So, I guess I'll just have to think about it a while and come to a decision.
