I have put this to the test I bought a Rem 700 Bdl a number of years ago at an estate sale for 50 bucks and it looked like a 50 dollar rifle but what the heck I thought. It sat in the corner of my closet when we decided to challenge this question. Years of us, me and my friends deliberately trying to break the firing pin by dry firing. A buck a session in the kitty each session lasts until you get tired of pulling the trigger if it breaks during your session you get the kitty.$146 and counting to date no pin breakage. we did JB weld a metal rod an inch long into the chamber so it could never be loaded but there is a 1/2 inch of free(empty space) between the bolt and the chamber so if dry firing hurts it I haven't see it
