Default Trigger Problem, the Final Chapter, I hope

Ok, based on some of the input in my original post, I went back to the drawing board on the trigger for the 700adl youth 243. I recalibrated the sear and found the creep can be removed but instead of backing off the sear 1/3 to 1/2 turn from point of fire, I had to back it off 1/4. Any more than that, the creep comes back. At the 1/4 mark and with 2 lbs of trigger pull, it seems to respond crisply. I am very pleased with it. I tested the gun by slamming the bolt a dozen times, toggling the safety and pulling the trigger. I did not have any inadvertent fires. I sealed the screw with nail polish and before putting it back together, I will run it thru further testing to be sure. Besides that, do you see a problem with the sear being backed out 1/4 vs. 1/3 to 1/2 as recommended in the article?
