DeWayne:
If it will bother you, by all means send it off to Mike Orlen and have it removed. I have to do the same with my barrels - pits annoy me to no end.
Browning barrels are meaty, and I doubt if there is even the remotest possibility of having too thin walls.
Orlen is a real expert and can be relied upon not to over hone.
You will sleep better at night.

I agree with KY Jon. If it isn't that bad, keep it and shoot it. I wouldn't worry about a little pitting. After a while you'll probably shoot it out anyway...... I know this to be a fact because I had a Herb Orre Model 12, and it was one of the few that had his name engraved on the inside of the barrel. But after all the shooting I did with it, I wore his name completely off.  Good luck.

Keep it clean and live with it. Honing a bore is likely to have far more effect on the patterns (and remove metal unneccesarily) than the pitting. Unless you are going to hone the full length of the bore and choke. If its not too bad I would leave it and keep it clean. There are not many perfect guns out there...

DeWayne - you'd think it would polish out without too much work.
For the sake of discussion, though, how was the bore represented to you? If excellent, or mirror-bright, then a call to the seller is an option. Note your inspection revealed a rough area or pit and that you'd want the gun if this matter was taken care of. You might abe able to reach some accomodation on this subject.
Best of Luck.
