I put one in my Great Plains last year. Dropped right in and was a major improvement over the stock trigger. I’ve read that some people have had to do a little trimming of the wood or use a shim. Mine was a perfect fit.

How about on a trade rifle from the 2001?

I believe the Trade rifle is a single trigger gun? If so it will take quite a bit of work to install Davis Deerslayer triggers in it. Wood will have to be removed here and backfilled there and then there’s the question of if the triggerguard is compatible.

Thanks bubba.50! I appreciate the input.

If you are looking for a single lever set trigger to fit in a smaller trigger guard take a look at the L&R single set series.
These are very good triggers.

If you have a TOW catalog they will have a full sized photograph that you can compare to your trigger. Replacement Target Trigger, for T/C Hawken & Renegade - Track of the Wolf

Thanks for all of the replies! I will check out the possibilities.

They’re excellent triggers. The best $50 you’ll spend for an upgrade. Unset, the trigger pull is smooth as glass with a nice crisp break. Set, ya just have to touch her off!

Here’s an older post on those triggers my friend.

I've put them in my TCs, double set trigger Renegades and Hawkens. Had to pare a but of wood with a small sharp wood chisel.

I never bothered adjusting them, they are perfect out of the box.

I just put one in my lefty gpr about an hour ago. It was not a simple drop in. I had to file the area of the trigger that contacts the bar on the lock. I used a 7/32” round file and put a spot of anti seize on the lock bar to see where it was contacting. I wound up filing down about .150” deep. But now that that’s done it is a truly nice trigger, I like it a great deal.
