Default T-Rex Sighting

Yep, I saw a T-Rex today. I was in the Gun Library at Cabela's and they had an A-Aquare rifle chambered in .577 T-Rex. Complete package of rifle, fitted case and a 10 round box of factory ammo that still had 7 unfired rounds in it. That could possibly be the most expensive 3 rounds ever fired out of a rifle in history.

To say the rounds for this thing are massive would be an understatement. Really made me feel like I was shooting the wife's gun with my .375H&H.

For those of you that haven't seen Accurate reloading's videos of the T-Rex being shot, here's a compliation video:

I have seen that video before but it still cracks me up. I would shoot it if I got a chance.

Are there two different rifles there? Looks like a Ruger #1 or some type of single shot at 1:25. All the rest look like bolt actions.

Obviously well made, considering the number of times it was dropped.
