I'd get in my fighter jet and launch a smart bomb at that bitch
Race Against Time, imo.I would use a tank
In all seriousness. If they can ever clone dinosaurs they should do it, and put them on an island like Jurassic Park. But instead of it being a theme park, charge those big game safari hunters absurd amounts of money to go and do it. Invest that money towards conservation efforts. Win/Win.
Ever heard of W.D.M Bell, the legendary elephant hunter? The Lee Enfield was his first choice over 200 times.
"He shot his first safari with a Lee Enfield in .303 British and the 215 grain army bullet. Thereafter he kept a ten shot Army& Navy Lee Enfield as a sort of back up and in the hope he might find ten elephants silly enough to stand around long enough for him to use the whole magazine."
"He wrote about being able to drop an elephant with a light caliber rifle if he shot it in the same place that he would have shot it with a heavy rifle and realised this fully when he saw that elephants shot with a .303 died just as quickly when shot in the same place as a .450/400 double rifle with both triggers wired together, so they went off at the same time."
it's been said so many times that it's cliche for me to even say it but.....shot placement matters so much more than calibre.

A properly thrown spear can create a brutal wound channel and a few spears on point held by hunters can repel pretty much any predator. Along with rocks and clubs, the spear basically got us to the point where we could develop better options.
and Fred Bear killed everything that walked God's green earth with a recurve. I also wasn't joking about the spears or machetes, but if I'm hunting a T-Rex (a fucking T-Rex!) I'm not going to intentionally under equip myself because shot placement. For perspective here's what the matchup looks like:

i got a .303 british from my grandfather when i was like 18.i shot a white tail buck and a black bear with it.great gun but heavy as fuck to pack in the bush.had it for years till my uncle pulled some indian giver bulshit and wanted it back after the old man passed awayPlenty of elephants have been taken with Lee Enfields in .303 British

It's a rookie mistake to try to overcompensate a lack of marksmanship with a larger calibre. If you are unable to effectively make your shots, then you probably should leave the hunt for someone else.
Yeah. I had a cousin claim that this gun was supposed to be his. It was my uncle's. A different uncle that the cousin barely knew and it was never promised to anyone but directly gifted to my dad.
It's my gun now. Cold dead hands and all that!
So it's your opinion that the .303 British is the optimal cartridge for killing a T-Rex? or elephants for that matter?
Honestly, where would you have gotten that from what I said? When presented with a list of cartridges, you stated that they would be too small to effectively kill an elephant. One of the cartridges listed was 30.06, so I brought up the fact that many elephants have been taken with .303 British, a comparable but slightly less powerful round.
After that you stated that you would want a larger round and I remarked that you shouldn't make up for marksmanship with a larger calibre. Nowhere did I state that .303 British would be the optimal cartridge for killing either a t-Rex or an elephant (unless we are talking about rifles that we actually own).
W.D.M Bell did think highly of the Lee Enfield and thought it was the optimal RIFLE for elephant hunting due to it having more than adequate firepower, a ten round magazine, and it can be top fed with stripper clips. He always carried one in the hopes of finding ten elephants, which is a testament to his faith in it.
That being said, there is only one gun out there for hunting tyrannosaur. The .577 tyrannosaur!

Because in all your talk of its effectiveness you didn't offer an alternative. Lots of "sure it's a great choice and here's why" as oppose to "I'd rather have this, but..."
I also assumed anyone involved in this conversation would realize I didn't literally mean you couldn't kill an elephant with a 30 caliber gun. As previously stated you could use a sharp stick if you realy wanted to.
Hilarious that you knuckleheads will literally argue about the caliber of gun to kill a T-Rex... to the point of indignancy.
I offered an alternative in my last post. Provided a YouTube link and everything. It's a message board. If I want to suggest a calibre, I can. If I want to critique someone else's suggestion, I will.
I literally thought you meant that you couldn't kill an elephant with a 30 cal gun. Don't know where I got that impression though...
I haven't even posted on this thread since March 5!
It's also hilarious when a knucklehead comes onto a thread and spouts off his opinion without truly taking stock of the situation. I've been discussing shooting elephants with a Lee Enfield. Try to keep up!
Which was long after the entire knock down, drag out endorsement of the.303 British.
That's a single statement you're intentionally taking out of context. As I said in I believe my first post after that, spears and machetes also work with great success.
I wouldnt shoot a trex unless it was about to commit a suicide bombing
holy shit...
What shotgun did Terry Crewes have in the Expendables? I know nothing about guns.
I want that one with those rounds...
