What exactly is a jong? You have sparked my curiosity.
When I store my firearms, I depress the trigger with the bolt up, then close the bolt while the trigger is still depressed. It releases the firing pin a lot easier.
I do this too, but the answer is that by far the majority of centerfire bolt-action rifles of the basic Mauser type can be dry-fired without any damage at all. This includes the Remingtons. The same is true for the Ruger No. 1 single shot, which is specifically designed to permit dry-firing.
