OP, You say you are using a fired piece of brass correct. Look up primary extraction issues and test for that. That is one issue that is addressed by Fred with a T&T. Many have had success with a new bolt handle from SSs. You can always contact Savage as well.
Stang - Negative, I haven't fired the gun yet. The issue with bolt lift occurs when the firing pin is dropped (dry fire).

I went to a local gunstore today after work and they had some other Savage models and all exhibited the same issue while dry firing.

Thx,
