Actually they are not the same according to Leupold's specs and the fact that the VX3 has 116MOA of internal adjustment where the Mk4 has only 72MOA of internal adjustment indicates that one of the two is highly probably: Either the Mk4 has a heavier erector system or the external tube is thicker. In addition the differing dimensions per Leupolds website are indicated below in RED
