as you can see the bolt handle is rotated down. the firing pin is stuck in the fire position. i have tried for 30 minutes by hand to fix this as i don't have any tools with me. does anyone know if this can be fixed and how?

i can not put the bolt back in the gun because the shroud is in the way

Can you come up with a simple pair of pliers and a leather belt?
 
I used some paracord and pulled it back and was able to fix this... hopefully the fireing pin is fine
 
Catch the bottom of the striker on the edge of the bench and push down, now imobilize the bolt shroud with the other hand, and rotate the bolt body to the cocked position and release.
 
That tool from Sterk is amazing (like his bolt handle). I will be buying one ASAP.
 
take a pair of pliers with the jaws wrapped in electrical tape. Grab the cocking indicator, pull and rotate counter clockwise. I did this same thing to my tikka bolt
 
That tool came with my Sporter. I don't know if it comes with other models. Didn't get one with my Lite I bought but that was used.
