In the long term, I would say, yes!
In pistols the problem, as I understand it, is that the repeated extractions, where the case is prised out from under the extractor by the ejector rod, slowly wears away the breech face.
Given that ejecting cases on a bolt gun is the same process, only under the action of the shooter's hand, not the case's recoil, the effects may not take place as quickly but it will still be steel on steel, instead of brass on steel....
Your choice, though: you'd probably sell the gun before you see any wear. Personally, knowing the wear was taking place, I'd prefer to avoid it regardless of whether the signs show up during my ownership or not.
