I went to the range today, the pitting is not hurting the rifling, when I got it home and cleaned it up real good, brass brash with rusty duck, 2 rusty duck patches used both sides, one windex (thought I would try that) both sides, 2 dry then a oil patch. I did not see any rust by the time I ran the other side of the oil patch.
That is good, sounds like your not going to have accuracy problems with the rifle and you can use it for 2 or 3 years like you intended. Best Wishes for hunting in a few weeks. Chap
