Not that I know, but I wouldn't be surprised if all scopes were true MOA, and phrasing it as 1 inch at 100 yards is for ease of thought. You could contact Leupold as well.
The several Mark 4s I have are all "true MOA".
The most simple way to prove this is to perform a box test. Either dial on 10 moa up/over/down/back at 100 yards, or 20 moa up/over/down/back at 50 yards. Either method should net a 10.5" box as below, shot with my MK4 4.5-14x50.
Here, I shot one at 100 at the black dot, fine adjusted my zero and shot another to verify, then dialed up 10 MOA and shot two, right 10/shot two, down 10/shot two, then left 10 and shot two back into the dot:

Awesome! However, shouldn't the box size have been 10.47 inches per side?
Ha Ha, just kidding! Thanks for all the help. I have been using this external ballistics calculator:
http://www.biggameinfo.com/BalCalc.aspx
and then importing the data to an excel file I created to automaticly generate some simple range cards that I laminate and keep with my rangefinder. The site above uses true MOA so I wanted to be sure which MOA the Mark 4 scopes were using. Originally, I had a conversion I was using to convert the data from the site above from true MOA to shooters MOA, but I will elimate that function if a box test confirms that my Mark 4 is true MOA, as it looks like it is.

The adjustments aren't that accurate anyways.

Aren't what accurate? What exactly do you mean?
We spin them up to 40 MOA (.308/175 to 1,000 yards with a 100 yard base zero) and they track fine.
There are some cases in older Loopys where the click values will lose some linearity as large amounts of elevation is dialed on, but this is why we actually shoot long range data and don't rely on computer fantasy for our dope. Once we have our proven data, the click values are reliable and repeatable, part of why these scopes cost around a grand.

I was thinking small small adjustments. Yeah, probably matters when dialing a lot.
