This is crazy talk, although I do like the piece of wood with the nail in it.
At 500yds, a number of well placed shots with a 50 BMG sniper rifle.
At 100yds, a RPG and watch your life flash before you eyes.
At 10yds..........GATEHOUSE'S SPEAR!!!!!!

22 Centrefire - it's all about shot placement, right? right? So long as it's properly headspaced of course. This old gunsmith a friend knows told him about a guy who shot at a dinosaur with an improperly headspaced gun, and he died.
22 centerfire? Andy, that's way too much firepower. I mean, you don't want to hurt it do you?
Best thing: powerful narcotics in a blowgun.
Then you can domesticate him and make him your pet! How cool would that be? (and no Lieberals to ban the ownership of dinosaurs )

)T-Rex, 25 years ago I was in the Fort Henry Guard - we fired a 10 foot smooth bore muzzle loading shotgun - also known as a 24lb cannon - I'd say I'd do the job, but you'd need one hellavu strong rifle sling to carry it around anywhere

My old 45-70 would have to do, 500grain hard cast lead solids of course. About 1900 fps should do. But, where do you aim?
Brain the size of a walnut?
Heart shot?
Would a heart that big even notice the leak?

Let's try to keep this serious, folks--we're veering wildly off-topic.
Might be worth trying about 2 lbs. of your famous BC Bud, launched smoldering from a potato cannon.
But I agree, you COULD do the job with your 30-30.
Animal rights groups are gonna be all over this hunt, pictures of baby T Rex everywhere in the media...

Actually, the skin of a T-rex is so tough that you can't shoot them. You have to trap them!
This is the deal!
You dig a large hole with vertical walls, and you then build a HUGE fire in it. While you wait for the fire to burn down, you find some peas. (The T-rex loves peas.) When the fire is burnt down completely, and nothing but ashes is left, you carefully place the peas around the edge of the hole. Then you hide somewhere in the surrounding terrain.
When the T-rex comes up to the trap and bends down to eat a pea, you just sneak up behind him and "kick him in the ash hole"!
