That article is somewhat misleading. The actions were made in Belgium at the FN plant, then shipped to Sako for barreling and stockwork. Or, perhaps the rifles were completed in the FN plant and sold through Sako, but those actions were not made by Sako.
The commercial 98, as made by FN has been used for years for building high-dollar custom rifles. Weatherby is one that comes to mind, but I have never heard of a Weatherby with a 98 action being referred to as a Weatherby/Mauser. I guess it could be, but Weatherby did not make the action. FN did.
Browning used FN actions, and in the 50's complete FN rifles were imported by Firearms International, Garcia, and other companies. This same company also imported complete Sako rifles built on Sako actions. Maybe that is where the confusion comes in.
The Sako looks similiar, and is probably just as good, or better than an FN.
I have a rifle with a commercial FN action that came factory equiped with a Sako trigger, so Sako and FN must have had some type of working arrangment for their respective rifles.
