I adjusted it back to what seemed a safe setting. I wonder if they can “unadjusted” themselves.

Yes they can.

I had a 700 purchased new about 1990. After firing about 5 rounds though it the trigger pull was right back to it's creepy & slack self.

In addition if adjusted to a 3 pound trigger pull it could wind up firing when the bolt was closed or when the safety was released.

Replacing the factory trigger with a Timney Trigger fixed those problems.

Timney is the answer but many do not want to spend the money. Makes a world of difference on many rifles.
