Then ask the dealer to have the pitting removed. Why should you take the risk? If he's confident that the bbls will be OK, he shouldn't have a problem doing it.

Then have him measure the walls and bores. If there's 25 thous+ and the gun is still in proof, then go for it.

If not, pass.

BTW: Have the gun inspected by a 'smith who knows British guns.

I've seen countless guns that dealers said were fine turn out to be rats once a knowledgeable, 3rd party looked them over.
