Briggs Model 10 Cylinder Wall Scratch

I’m restoring this old 4 HP Briggs & Stratton engine that picked up for dirt cheap. After taking a closer look at the cylinder wall, I noticed this scratch. My fingernail barely catches on it.

Would I be able to get away with a light hone and new rings, or does this need to be bored oversize? I’d appreciate input from anyone who knows a thing or two, as this is my first small engine rebuild.
