Hey everyone I have a .270 and .243 m77 mark 2. On the bolt where the word safety is written the black part right behind the lever I have turned them both. Now my bolt won't go back in and can't figure out how to turn it back? how do I do that?

Sounds like you uncocked the bolt?
If so, you need to hook the cocking piece on something solid (like a block of wood) pull it back and rotate the bolt shroud back into the cocked position.
Yup sounds like uncocked it, done this myself and it can be hard to have the courage to twist n turn as you fear snapin somthin perhaps a trip to your gunsmith its a wee embarssing to say help, but watch n learn you'll not need to be shown twice.
Have a look youtube a few vids to show one like this may help
Thanks for the help.. It was rather simple after I figured it out.. I was trying to pull straight back on the bolt realizing thatAll that needed to be done was to turn it clockwise and it slides back into position.
