Sako Finnwolf, Functioning Problem

Having a problem with my .308 Finnwolf. (4 shot version). It's in 98% condition and shows little evidence of having been shot or carried. In short, it's as clean as a hounds tooth. Action is real slick and accuracy is good with a variety of factory ammo and handloads.
On occasion I will dry fire it. Less than 100 times in the past 2 years I'm sure.
Tonight I dry fired it once, worked the lever and tried a second time. Action still cyles smoothly but sear doesn't appear to be engaging; i.e. when you try to pull the trigger, nothing. No movement, no release, etc. Safety is off and appears to be cycling properly left to right and back. I can push the trigger forward to the "cocked position" but it won't stay. This happens in and out of the stock, magazine inserted and out. Can't see or hear anything out of the ordinary.
I'm hoping that some Finnwolf fan will recognize the symptoms and know what's going on. Or do I have a real mystery??
Thanks,
Rob

Personally, the Finwolf is a rifle I have never even handled..my lose, because they seem to be nice pieces.
I've reposted. At first your message surprised me because that's where I though I was. Seems I'm always on one board or the other,, and just lost track.
