Ironically I spoke with Savage this AM and the lady there informed me there IS NO SCREW in the adjustment area, she said you are actually adjusting the spring when you turn the tool.

I am getting ready to test what she said.

I did get ahold of SSS via the web site. Sent an email, but no response yet. Not surprised how busy everyone is.

For all, an FYI. Some parts can now be ordered directly from Savage. I did. For cost comparison, I was looking for the above non existing screw, and the retaining pin that holds the ejector in the bolt head.
Brownells, out of stock, back order OK $3.99 each
Midwayusa, in stock, at $2.99 each, and was $3.99 shipping + tax
Savage parts $2.00 each plus $4.00 for tax AND shipping

So, needless to say Savage got my order. Items like barrels (the 223 sporter mine came with from factory) was $125, BUT a factory fitted item. Some parts were to be sent to gunsmiths only. You enter your serial number and the schematic for that rifle comes up with each part numbered. Click on the part number and the detail page loads.
