The Thompson Center Hawkins have a 1:48 twist normally. I think many years ago, some actually came out with 1-66 but they are not often seen.
The Thompson Center White Mountain Carbine, I am starting to doubt actually has a set twist. One person I know who owns one, claims their rifle has a 1-20 twist. Another White Mountain owner refuses to budge, their rifle has a 1-32 twist. The .54 calibers were said to have a 1-48 twist.
So the twist they have is normally fast, 1-32 to 1-20 for the .50 calibers. They shoot conicals, sabots, and powder belts very well from all I have read. People that have them really seem to like that as a stalking and tree rifle.
As for the hard trigger, give Thompson Center a call and ask them if they can fix that for you. They are normally good about making those adjustments. It will cost you postage of the rifle one way, but it might be well worth it. A hard trigger is the greatest enemy to accuracy there is.
