Depends on the rifle- some do not HAVE a bolt catch. On the AR15 family of rifles, it is the left side of the receiver.
Into the left side of the receiver.
Open bolt, elevate barrel, pull trigger , catch bolt before it hits the ground

It is a bolt action rifle.
The process is different for a Mark1, #3, and a Mk 4#1 or a Mk5 carbine. The Enfield has a bolt catch that must be released to withdraw the bolt. For the Mk3, open the bolt, and flip the bolt catch UP (it is on the right rear of the frame). When vertical, bolt can be withdrawn. For the Mk 4 and Mk 5, open bolt, flip rear sight up, depress bolt catch (right side, near bolt head) draw bolt back until under the catch, and release catch, which will turn bolt head up. Continue turning bolt head until vertical, then withdraw.

If you look at the bolt face, a center fire rifle will have the firing pin located in the center of the bolt. A rimfire rifle will have the firing pin located on the outside edge of the bolt.
For MOST- make sure rifle is unloaded. Open bolt, draw to the rear. Press and HOLD trigger, and slide the bolt out of the rifle.

Look up the Swiss Schmidt-Rubin military rifle, or the Blaser sporting rifle for examples. It is a bolt action rifle in which the shooter manipulates the bolt by pulling straight back instead of up and back.
No way your bolt is your firing mechanism Unless it's a rifle which doesn't use a bolt, such as break action rifles or muzzleloaders.
