Gunsmithing Sako 85 Trigger Change Question

[zog]

I have two Sako 85 stainless 300 wsm rifles. Similar age 4-5 years old. Gonna keep one and sell the other. One has the two stage set trigger and the other has the single stage trigger. I want to swap triggers.

I have successfully installed after market triggers in Remington 700 and Winchester 70 using set pins. I can't find much info on Sako 85.

Before I tear into them, could someone tell me . . . if I am capable of the above two, should I be able to swap my Sako 85 triggers? Is it also a set-pin setup?

THANKS

Yep it can be done,
I have a vls and trigger was switched at beretta, had a warranty issue and the shipment for my replacement came with standard trigger. They swapped trigger out and sent it to me same day

Thanks I did talk with him - very good guy.

Ha - oh man, this is so easy it belongs in the "stupid questions" forum, not here!

I already knew how operate a 5mm allen key. Remove one cap screw (the big one in front of the trigger going up into the receiver) and the entire assembly comes off, safety and all. No pins to drive out and lose, no springs to go spro-o-ing! No bolt release slide (I already knew that). What a great setup.

THANKS for the number Toader!

I’ve swapped triggers between Tikkas,Trgs, and Sako 75 all functioned fine. wanted to use the krg two stage on the 75 functioned fine but because of the magazine holder wouldn’t work....
