Connecting international-to-domestic at Oslo (OSL)

Hello. I have a trip coming up where I'm arriving at Oslo (Gardemoen)
from the UK and connecting just 45 minutes later on a domestic flight to
the frozen north.

This has all been booked through the airline and the arrival/departure
airlines are both SAS (SK). The SAS website (and other flight search
engines) show it as a permitted connection (that is, when I put in
origin and destination, this flight pairing comes up without any
prompting):

SK802 07:20 10:25 London (LHR) Oslo (OSL)
SK4084 11:10 12:50 Oslo (OSL) Harstad-Narvik (EVE)

I'm not familiar with the new airport at Oslo, and understand it's a
single-terminal design, but this does seem rather tight. Has anyone
made this type of connection through Oslo recently? I know I'll have to
clear immigration at Oslo - what about baggage, will it route through to
the final destination airport so I can clear customs there? All
experiences - rather than speculation - gladly received. I have also
put the question to Oslo airport - but they will doubtless give me the
official answer..

This connection is very tight. You will have to reclaim your luggage,
clear customs and recheck it at OSL (drop it off at the "bag drop" on
the departures floor, one level up), pass security and catch your
flight. I would usually not settle with less than 60 minutes for such a
connection, more if travelling with children.

However, if SAS is selling this ticket and you miss the connection, SAS
will get you a seat on the first available flight - most likely the
SK4086 leaving at 13:45 (usually plenty of seats on that one, unless
you're travelling in the weekend or near Yule).

I am unable to get that connection as a suggestion, though - which
booking service do you use, and what is your travel date?
