Yes the Extreme Hunters are stainless. I've had both (only have the EH currently). I think that they are so close in terms of quality of manufacture and overall design there's nothing in it. Both have excellent triggers and stocks. Tikka has integral dovetails which I like but heaps of people then use Talleys which somewhat defeats the purpose. Tikka have 5 shot mags if that your thing.

They both vary a bit from rifle to rifle even though they come out of the same run. When I bought an EH recently I ran the bolt in all the examples the shop had of each brand (mine is a 223) and the Bergaras all ran with less bolt lift effort than the Tikkas, and the bolt was noticeably smoother in the Bergara example I selected.

Good luck
