The 700 is the classic Remington bolt-action design. SPS is their synthetic stock version of the 700. The 783 is a whole new critter, built to compete at a lower price point with similar offerings from other companies. There was a time when Remington rifles were top-shelf products, but others have improved their guns while Remington has suffered a growing reputation for quality control problems.
Either of the rifles you are looking at might serve you very well, but for the same money a lot of folks would steer you toward other brands, these days. The Savage line of rifles tend to be VERY accurate, and for a cost-effective 30-'06, take a long look at the Marlin X7. Another good option is a used Model 700, from the late 80's or older. You can sometimes get a good deal on a great old rifle.
Good luck and let us know which way you jump.
