The real one doesn't... why would the replica?

Because of the magnifying optics and the switching prism, you're still looking through tubed lenses (more than two), so there is a limited eye relief. The upside is that it's exactly the same distance between 1x and 4x mode, so you do not have to adjust shooting position. If you move your eye beyond the eye relief position, you'd get the halo shadow in your view - just like with a 4x scope optic.

4x:

Actually, you just push one lever to switch modes.

See the lever below the "4x 1x" markings? It's currently pushed to the "1x" side:
