make sure when you play with it, that you go through all the checks afterwards...and thoroughly. Bang it around, play with the safety, open the bolt and slam it shut..do that a lot.

Sear engagement

definitely your sear engagement, bet you turned that instead of tension screw, been there a time or two.

It is an engagement issue, or the trigger return spring tension is to light, or a combination of both.
Does the cocking piece follow the bolt handle down to the fired position, or is there initial sear support (Loaded tension on main spring) and when the trigger fails, releases the striker with an audible click upon rotation of the bolt. The first one is termed a "Soft Follows Down" and the latter is a "Hard Follow Down".

this is how you learn,take your time and pay attention to what reaction the trigger has as you turn screws.

Re: Rem 700 sps wont stay cocked??????
are you cycling the bolt up then back? your not just lifting the bolt up and droping back down?
I assume you have adjusted the trigger and are now doing your safty checks?
