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.

you might have rotated your lug hundred and eighty
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!
the little outcrop on the bottom should be on the right side of the rifle.
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.
^^^^^ Good to know!
