I have a Remington 700 BDL in 7mm Express that has a grey gloss finish on all of the metal parts including the bolt. I have never seen this color finish on a factory rifle before. It comes close to the dark grey finish Ruger has used on their Varmint rifles. It appears to be a factory finish because all of the markings on the barrel are very legible. Is anyone familiar with this finish? Thanks.

Its probably not the factory finish. It sounds like some brand of hard chrome. You usually have a choice of a shiny finish, a brushed finish or a bead blasted finish. The stamping on the metal will be sharp as these finishes are only .0002 to .0004 thick, less than half a thousandth. They are great finishes though and rust will never be an issue. If it is in fact a hard chrome finish that is a plus.

Sounds either powder coated for looks or Parkerized, depending on what you mean by Gray...

I am looking to getting a couple of rifles parkerized.... just like military rifles ( eg, Springfields, or Enfields that had been sent back for refurbishing..)
