Default Trigger, is this a problem?

I requested info on adj the trigger on my 700adl youth 243 and received some great articles. I made the adjustments, though the process took way longer than i would have guessed, tweaking and ensuring safety. anyway, i found the trigger stop hardest to find the sweet spot but eventually did. I set the spring at 2.5lbs and am satisfied with it. The thing that doesn't seem right is, once cocked, the trigger has play in it, about 1 to 1.5 milimeters, then it is ready for the slow squeeze. In other words, initially, i begin to pull and i feel the trigger slip back a tad before it is entirely firm and ready for pulling. I have tried tinkering with the trigger stop but to no avail. I don't think it can be the engagement screw, that does something different. Then, you have the spring tension screw, which is pretty simple in it's purpose, so that leaves the Stop. No matter what I do, i can get rid of this play and that bumpy spot. If i tighten it too much, the trigger won't even engage. Any ideas? this is my first trigger adjustment and though the poundage is good, this bump is bad.

I tested my browning and that is a sweet crisp 2 lb trigger, unlike the rem. Pls help
