I might have said this earlier, but it's a $200 shotgun. It would cost me about $30 per barrel to hone it out, but I'm not gonna.
My primary question, which was in no way clear, concerned how pitting would affect shot pattern. I realize there's not enough data in my post to answer that, as it all depends. I previously didn't have a frame of reference, but this morning I saw a pitted bore on a 12 ga. and my pits are better than his pits.
I will never love the pits, although that's a good idea. I'll tolerate them, however, and maybe not think of them so much.
