Well...
The steel or bronze wool won't help "pitting"... it's just "there-for-life", as far as I know.
But... HEY... so it's got a few rusty place... no "biggie". It's a HUNTING RIFLE... and it is gonna get some "dings" and "scratches". They give the rifle "character", don't cha know?
Strength & Honor...
