I would take the bolt apart and clean it up and clean the receiver up especially the lug abutments which is where the bolt head loci have polished the cocking cam etc lightly.You want to smooth it not take off metal. A bolt lift kit called the kiff-lambeth kit on pacific tool and gages website will help a lot. I have one I did that rivals my kelbly custom action feel. So it can be done. If you don't have the skills send it to someone that specializes in savages like stockadestocks.com or SSS (savage shooters supply ) for his time and true deal.
