I think as long as the chambers and bores are cleaned and oiled after each shooting outing the pits shouldn’t worsen.

In 1960, when I was 14 years old, I bought a VH 28 gauge from another young man my age who "needed" a Savage Model 99. I never saw him again after we did our deal. The VH had what looked like moderate to serious pitting. I shot the gun rather extensively and cleaned it rather aggressively for the next couple of decades. Somehow, the bores are now clean and shiny and have never been honed, are still .550, chambers to chokes. I had the same thing happen to a well pitted A Grade Fox 16 gauge many years later. The seller of that gun thought the gun worthless because of the bad bores. When I traded the gun to a dealer, the bores were perfect, never having been honed.
