Sounds as if you have one of the newer style bolts.
I don't have a rifle like that, so I can't answer, but have you tried the Savage Partsfinder (https://store.savagearms.com/partfinder/) to get a schematic of your rifle? You will have to enter your serial number, but hopefully the diagram that comes up when you do that will show the bolt assembly in enough detail.

While you have it apart, I would smooth the ends of the springs so they don't "dig into" anything, specifically the BAS. In addition, any polishing of moving parts shouldn't hurt.

Best of luck.
