The thing I don't understand about the bolt retainer (if that's what it is) is that the bolts on these rifles are hard enough to get out when you're trying to get them out. The release is very stiff and the end is sharp enough to pinch your finger if you're not careful. I can't imagine the bolt falling out in the field.
I don't think it is there to retain the bolt in the action, rather to keep the bolt closed so the bolt handle does not lift while being carried.
