I'm having a problem with the bolt on my rifle... if i load in a dummy round (haven't tried with a real round cause of this problem...) the only way i can extract the round is if i pull the trigger and then open the bolt. the bolt wont wont slide back unless i pull the trigger... i can lift the bolt and slid it back about 3/4's of an inch but then it jams up, i dont know whats wrong... any ideas?

If you can remove the bolt from the rifle:
Is the firing pin bent down? Thus the cocking piece is being pushed down on to the sear at an angle?
Do you have another bolt to try in? If the problem goes away then have a careful look at the cocking piece and firing pin.
Also, try removing the safety and see if the problem goes away. It just takes one screw. The timing of the safety might be incorrect.
With the bolt out, watch the action of the sear as you pull the trigger- look right?
