Sako 85 Trigger issue

[Bushy]

I have a Sako 85 Varmint in .223, fantastic rifle but I’ve noticed an issue recently. The trigger was crisp and smooth but now I am noticing a drag and some additional travel when I am squeezing it.

Is there anyone that can recommend a gunsmith in the South East who would be able to take a look?

Take it off the gun
Or even just et the action out of the stock
Wash the trigger out with isopropyl or lighter fluid and a small brush
Could just be gunk, grit and crap in there

If you want s crisp break polish up the mating surfaces of the cocking piece under the bolt and the back side of the sear that protrudes out of the trigger body

I’ll give the cleaning suggestion a go, I’ll not be polishing anything, I’m not sure I’d trust myself!!!

Thank you for your help!!

As above (minus the polishing unless you know what your doing) or take it to Neil (Dasherman)

Just a follow up on my trigger issues, I did as suggested above and polished the sear and cleaned the whole unit, trigger is now back to its original state!!! Thanks for those who responded and offered me some advice!!
