I haven't read any of the other replies yet. There maybe a repeat or two 
of previous comments.

I've read the Doyle and the Bradbury. Who hasn't read The Sound of 
Thunder? And I am reminded of L. Sprague de Camp's "A Gun for Dinosaur".

So, I found a PDF and reread it. I only have one quibble. I don't think 
a 600 Nitro Express would be big enough for large dinosaur. Maybe an RPG 
or some armor piercing .50 cal. Or maybe a Çarl Gustaf.
