I don’t know. You’re talking about a weight of between 4 and 7 tons. I’d want something with a little more testicality than a .45-70, even if it was the hot CorBon loads. Like maybe a .50 BMG with round-nose solids.
I’ve fired the 45-70 guide gun. Owner didn’t tell me he had his hot loads in it. I was a little loose in the shoulder pocket. Took a month for the bruise to fade. My kid wants one for his hunting rifle. He loves lever actions. I told him to save his summer job money.

Heh, took me a minute.
Love my SBL BTW.

Product placement in movies for advertising – it works.

Jurassic World tie in?

AK’s have killed elephants… so .45-70, in theory, could stop a rex with EXCELLENT shot placement.
Personally, RPG-7 is what I’d use.

I wonder if they got that idea from Michael Bane.

Click the Rex and it gives you the specific model to order for your hunt. Tis brilliant!

Aaaand, now we know why they are extinct!

Waiting on the threaded barreled 357 that they say is coming out this summer.
