How do you remove the bolt from a Savage model 1920 bolt action rifle?

lift bolt handle reteive bolt but just before you get bolt all the way back pull trigger and the bolt will slip free of the action.
Addition:
The Model 1920 has two mechanisms that the bolt must pass to allow bolt removal. The sear (attached to the trigger) releases the striker, and is also the primary bolt stop.
The second bolt stop is a detent ball and spring positioned in the left side receiver bolt rail. Some users would/will carry the rifle slung over their shoulder, with bolt open. The trigger does not need much pressure to release the bolt. The detent is an added feature to prevent bolt loss in the field. The bolt engages the detent after it clears the sear during removal. In normal operation, the detent is properly lubricated, and a light tug will cause the left bolt lug to force the ball down and allow the bolt to come free of the rifle. Many users do not even notice the added pressure of the detent ball bolt stop during bolt removal.
Given an 85+ year old rifle, sometimes the detent ball will rust, stick to the receiver, or otherwise not retract into its recess. After you lift the handle, retract the bolt, and pull the trigger to release (sear clears bolt), if the bolt does not slide free of the receiver with a moderate tug to pass over the detent, then the detent may be frozen. If you can not get the bolt to clear the detent with reasonable backward pressure on the bolt handle, to prevent damage, recommended that you take rifle to a competant gunsmith for cleaning or repair of bolt stop (detent ball, spring and detent recess).
