That rifle has been on for months. As I recall, when he first posted it he stated that it was a modern made rifle.

The description hints at this and IMO it is.

I have just spoken to the owner and indeed he acknowledges that it is an early contemporary in the "style" of Stoudenour. No effort on his part to misrepresent it as an original.

Initially he was asking in the neighborhood of $18,000 for it and suggested that Carl Pippert made it.  I never believed that Carl made it, this wasn't his style of rifle.  He's dropped the attribution from his description, but your right, he hints that it's some sort of contemporary rifle.

Wow! From those pictures I could have got snookered by that one! :o
Or maybe it's due to the resemblance to the other Bedford that recently popped up. Either way it looks like a reasonably good job of fakery!
Rifle in hand would no doubt tell a different story.
