You can request a manual from Remington on their web site.
There have never been any recalls on the Remington Model 742 that I'm aware of. The Remington 742 is now an obsolete model and was replaced with the Remington Model 7400. The bolt received an upgraded design along with the magazine catch/release. At one time Remington was offering a Model 7400 as a replacement for the Model 742, if you sent them your Model 742 along with $350.00. Is there a problem with the 742 that you have?
Follow the instructions in the owner's manual. If you don't have one, go to Remington's web site and request one.
Take it to a gunsmith
The part you need to press to remove the bolt of a Remington Model 700 rifle is commonly referred to as the "bolt release." The NRA part number for this component is typically listed as NRA Part Number 700-08. Always consult the official Remington parts catalog or a qualified gunsmith for the most accurate and specific information regarding firearm components.
There should be a little slide lever next to the clip on the bottom of the rifle. either push in or push forward and the clip will release.
