You need to measure your bolt bore "or" you need to ream it. Buy a bolt body.015"- .002" under sized from the bore. I never liked bolt slop but at the same time i have not been able to attribute inaccuracy to a sloppy savage bolt. The target actions are normally a good fit.
Hopefully Savage machined the axis of the bolt bore with the axis of the barrel tenon.

i like the bolt head design think it eliminates the bolt body at firing.
BUT
FEEDING is another issue...this body just rattles around..actually catches on the safety on the way in
