I'm having some trigger woes after adjusting a remington trigger,non X-Mark Pro trigger) on my LTR. I followed these directions:

However, here is what I'm seeing which I wondered if this is normal:
1) Trigger has always had a little creep which I can deal with. The factory trigger broke @ 6.5 lbs. which was too heavy so I wanted to adjust it to 2.5-3 lbs. The only two screws I messed with were the trigger stop and trigger weight screws on front of trigger.
2) I did the slam, bump, safety test to see if anything would trip trigger and it would not. However, I noticed that when the safety is on, the trigger will wiggle around,side to side and front to back). However, when I turn the safety off, the trigger firms up and works as normal with no wiggle whatsoever.
3) After firing, the trigger wiggles once again like above. However, during the firing sequence, I have some creep,about the same as original settings) but I have absolutely no backlash.
4) I adjusted this trigger to break at approx. 3 lbs. and I'm seeing the trigger stack from 2.75 - 3.50 lbs. Am I going to light with this trigger?
To sum things up, why am I seeing the trigger wiggle when the safety is on or pin is relaxed and why am I seeing the trigger stack with varying weight?
