This guy was trying to sell a scope at work today that appear to be well constructed with a decent magnification. It mounts to an AR carrying handle. The only markings other than the mag numbers is 'AL RUMAIH'. I did a small amount of searching and the only real thing I came up with is that is a Saudi name of sorts. Anybody familiar with this?

I'm shocked! What with all the hardcore gun collectors here.  Thanks for the hint!

I've got an idea, why not to into the optics forum and ask there!  I know, it's a wild and crazy idea, but give it a shot.

Arab countries don't manufacture shit.
Least of all high tech gizmos and stuff.

What type of mount was attached to the scope?  Considering that most carry handle scopes are made by Chi-Com's, I think that other posts are correct, not made in the Arab Peninsula.

Jabal al-Rumaih is near the Yemeni border.

looks exactly like the X4 leapers I had on my first .22 AR

Ohmigawd, that looks just like the early scope Colt pushed for the AR back in the '70s.

Only those were made by the Japanese.

Almost all of the CH scopes made today are made by the ChiCom's and are made to a price point.

Apex had some Israeli-marked Colt 4Xs but this is the first Saudi-marked I've seen.

The Apex scopes were 3x21 made in Israel by El-Op (Electro Optical Co. Ltd).....model is the "Eyal"

The earliest Colt branded scopes were made in the US by Realist.....later 3x and 4x by Hakko in Japan.....

Never seen one marked like this one though
