I have 3 recent mfg Savage rifles, and all three were difficult to remove the bolt at first. As they wore in it got easier and easier.
Make sure you have the trigger pulled all the way, then work on depressing the release. When you get those down, whack the bolt handle to the rear with your hand. It'll come out. When you get it out, lubricate it and put it back in. Take it out. Repeat until it gets easier.
