Interesting. I read on here that trigger was not in fact two-stage.Yes, the externally adjustable BR triggers in the Single shot AI 22 and 6 PPC were. These BR triggers were also available in the AI and AII heavy bbl varminters. Tell tale evidence is the trigger guard w 2 holes in it to adjust appropriate screws and the long, straight (slightly curved) trigger.
No, the externally adjustable Sako trigger is single stage, just adjustable without disassembling the rifle.
I'm not sure if by "two stage" you mean a trigger like many military rifles which have a first and second "hump" and a long pull, or if you mean a set trigger on which you set the trigger (either with a second trigger lever or by pushing the single lever forward) to achieve a very light pull.
If you want a military-style two stage trigger then most any trigger for a 98 Mauser can be adapted to the Sako L- and A-series actions.
In that case, if for an L- or A-series Sako, then try something made for the 98 Mauser.Two stage in the classic sense- a long first stage where you can feel the tension of the trigger and it gets to a point where you feel additional tension.

I've wondered about a B&A for an L- or A-series Sako, and have corresponded with B&A about this. Although they make a trigger that will work on a Quad or Finnfire II (and with a little fiddling on a P94S), they don't currently make one for the CF Sakos. My guess is that the Mauser 98 trigger would require a fair bit of gunsmithing to fit and function on a Sako CF.Hard to ignore this possibility then..

Edit: oops it's still a single stage
Actually, the Sako #4 trigger was designed specifically for the Model 98 FN Mauser; conversely the Sako L-series actions from the L579-on also were configured to take the same trigger as the FN Mauser. With some bottom metals there may be an issue of the finger lever being too wide for the slot or too short or long, but generally, a Mauser 98 trigger will fit the Sako L- and A-series actions.My guess is that the Mauser 98 trigger would require a fair bit of gunsmithing to fit and function on a Sako CF.
That's interesting and helpful, stonecreek. I'd want to have a few careful measurements taken before ordering up a Mauser 98 trigger for an L- or A-series Sako. It sounds, from what you've said, that the sear location should be right. As for two-stage triggers, I think they have some appeal to 3P and prone target shooters (and possibly a few silhouette and BR shooters), but definitely wouldn't be my choice for a hunting rifle.Actually, the Sako #4 trigger was designed specifically for the Model 98 FN Mauser; conversely the Sako L-series actions from the L579-on also were configured to take the same trigger as the FN Mauser.

But as Paulson points out, if the trigger is not fitted with a trigger safety then there will be no safety mechanism unless the bolt is modified to use something like the Win Model 70 bolt safety.
As far as I'm concern, though, this discussion is purely academic -- because two stage triggers give me the creeps. (Sorry, I just couldn't resist.)
