I just picked up this rifle. I have heard nothing but good stuff about it, but after cycling the bolt only a few times, as anyone with a new gun would do, it looks like this. Should I be worried? This is what sets the headspace if I'm not mistaken. It just seems like quite a big chunk. Maybe I'm over reacting. The picture isn't the best, sorry. Its my first attempt at posting a picture. I was trying to show the wear at the base of the bolt handle.

Just looked at my 93R17 bolt and it has a tiny mark in it pretty much where yours is. Hard to say if it is the same size or not. I would keep an eye on it and see if it gets bigger.
 
I sent a savage rep this same picture and he said definite damage and he would replace it. I'll keep you guys posted on the service.
