If you think my sear setting is causing the creep, would you guess i need to tighten the screw or back it out more?
One of the problems with the 700 triggers that I've seen over the last few years is that the sear surfaces aren't as nicely polished as they used to be. A little bit of roughness or if the geometry is off a little can cause a creepy gritty trigger no matter how well you adjust it. If you aren't happy with the trigger, taking it to a gunsmith to have the surfaces stoned smooth and trued up can make a world of difference, or you can buy an aftermarket trigger to replace it.
