Not sure what that finish is called...bead blasted or sand blasted??  But I am speaking of the grayish finish on the top strap and rib to soak up any glare. 

Are there any remedies for those Dan's that have had this wear off from a scope mount?  I am thinking matt gray rustolium is not the answer:)

It's exactly what you described it as...bead blasted (shot blasted, sand blasted, etc.)  The only way to get it back is to re-blast it.  I do all my SS shrouds and guns and put a new factory finish on the rib and top strap

Like Harly said to restore the look you can have them bead blasted. A year or so ago I sent a couple stainless barrel shrouds to EWK and he blasted the top straps, they came out great, like new. I do not believe he can receive whole firearms though through the mail just parts like the barrel.
