I swapped out the stock tactical bolt knob on my brand new Savage TR and now I can't get the fucking thing back in. I even put the stock one back on and it won't work.

HELP! I can't get my bolt back in

That's a bitch! I remember I had diffculty installing the NEW bolt that came with my Savage Axis 223. Their design leaves something to be desired. Good luck!
sorry I did not look at the pictures well enough, you need to cock the bolt (pretty sure). using the corner of a table or something, push the round knob (sleeve retaining pin) up the ramp and onto the detent........Hope that is what is going on.
Use your 1/4" Allen wrench and back the nut all the way out then get the cocking piece in the correct position then re-tighten
Well I feel like an ass, I was trying to get the round knob pushed back to the side to reset the firing pin but I couldn't get it with my fingers. I just used the end of my wooden mallet and voila it works now.
Thanks guys, I know my way around an AR and handguns like a champ but this is the first time I've ever played with a bolt gun

One can have the same problem after disassembling a model 700 bolt if it is not rotated back to the cocked position upon reassembly.
