Again, it depends on whether I'm buying or selling. If I'm buying it would be a big deal, but if selling it is part of the history of the gun...
Just kidding.
But really, unless the pitting was horrendous (sp?), it would not scare me away. Some careful cleaning and polishing, and maybe even shooting, might clean it up quite a bit if, as you state, the lands are sharp.
I guess that unless it showed abuse uncharacteristic of the overall gun, its age, and the ammo for which it was designed, it would not scare me off. But I admit that my visual assessment of bore condition seems to have no bearing on the size of groups a gun will shoot.
But let's hear what the real experts have to say...
