[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 774952, member: 39764"] The machinist in me says it's fixable, I could fix it but you probably can't. I'm curious about the 2 lateral scratches/gouges in the outer face at 10:00 o'clock too. The angle of the scratches/gouges coincide with the divot...... Whatever impacted it raised the metal proud of the bolt face (you can see the ridge). I'd have that ridge removed and smoothed use it. Some very careful work with a micro die grinder and appropriate stone would work. Whats the history of the rifle? Loan it to anyone or has it been somewhere other than in your possession? Stuff like that don't happen...usually. Keep in mind that most bolt/receivers are matched pairs. [/QUOTE]
