Just purchased a new (2003) Remington 7400 semi-auto in 30-06 AND a new (2005) 700 SPS Stainless in 30-06 and would like to know if dry-firing will hurt either of these two rifles?

Buy Snap Caps. It is much cheaper.
I will guarantee you that Dan is correct. A nephew borrowed my 760 years ago and it took him no time at all to break the firing pin. They are expensive to get replaced by the way...... and it was the last time I ever loaned a rifle out.
You can buy "Snap Caps" for most any caliber that will enable you to dry fire your rifles safely.

I'm curious as to why you want to dry fire your rifles?
If you just want to feel the trigger pull or want to check the weight of pull go ahead and check. You would have to dry fire a new rifle pretty much to hurt it, however I do not recommend it. If for some reason you want to dry fire alot and you don't have snap caps use a SPENT cartridge.
