I would send the rifle to Savage for repair.
Fix it yourself in an hour or so OR, ship it off to Savage and wait......
You do know that a Savage is a DIY rifle??

The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
Do you mean you have seen very few Ultralite actions that nice or Savage actions as a group? My Ultralite 6.5 CM 110 (short action but marked 110*) has the best machine and finish work I have ever seen on any Savage. It looks more like a custom rifle costing 2x the price.
The baffle on mine is slightly larger in height than the bolt head, though it does have some pretty sharp corners on it. No hang-ups on cycling bolt slowly or rapidly. I am going to try beveling those sharp corners on the baffles, bolt heads and raceways on some of my less smooth cycling actions. It sounds like a good idea to help reduce hangups on the bolt travel.
(* Since when did they start marking short actions as 110? )
Savage actions as a whole. Looks like the new owners are taking fit and finish seriously.

I guessed that was what you meant, but wanted to double check. Maybe down the road Savage will sell blueprinted Ultralite actions, though based on the price of their single shot actions, they would likely be in the $900+ price range. A cheaper way to get one now, to build a rifle with might be to purchase an Ultralite rifle with a Proof Research carbon fiber barrel on it in a popular cartridge, then sell the barrel and the stock if you weren't interested in the Proof barrel.
$1327 for a new Savage Ultralite Rifle, including shipping, tax and a $15 FFL fee
<$700 - $800> Selling the barrel on Gunbroker etc
<$150+> for the Accufit stock on eBay

$377 to $477 for the action with the bolt, trigger and magazine
