Sako triggers for the Mauser 98

Hey Guys,
I ended up buying that G33/40, and was a bit surprised to find that it had a Sako trigger on it. At first, I thought someone had modified a A or L series trigger to fit, but an old friend of mine said that Sako used to make them, as they originally built some guns on the 98s.

So, I then remembered that I have another Sako trigger in my junk box, and sure enough, it looked to have the same diminsions.

Do you think I just happened to run across two Sako for Mauser triggers, or were these fairly common in the day?

Thanks for the insights!

I asked the same question here about a year ago. The answer was: yes they were common and they were good triggers.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry

FN actions commonly had Sako #4 triggers; even some J.C. Higgins model 50 and 51 has the Sako triggers in them. That is a great bonus on that 33/40!
