Looking for a R700 SA action sleeve to buy

I want to piggyback
I did not start the thread but I am thinking the same thing that the OP is and that I am looking for an action sleeve for Rem M700 short. A short action bolt with .222 bolt face is probably needed as well. I have a 17 Remington let go in the bolt face of my rifle and after much searching by Kevin Weaver we were unable to source a PTG bolt in a timely manner. Kevin thought that the bolt could be fixed but for more money than it is worth so we just started over with Defiance action. I want to repurpose that action into a sleeved experimental BR rifle at 13.5 pounds in 20 Vartarg. I am having a 20-.175 PPC short built right now and while the cases aren’t too much more trouble than say my Waldog I question if it’s really needed when we have the Vartarg.
Harold Miller has those articles tracking the competive progress of a LV 20 Vartarg that seems promising. Good bullets are the next hurdle. BIB makes some which I am in line for now. Anyway looking for sleeve and bolt.
