What are the differences as they appear to be the same scope?
Does the Ultra have the 140MOA elevation range?
Does the Ultra have any advantages?

I know the Ultra has an etched glass reticle. Not sure what the other differences are?

Ultra came first w/ etched....but me thinks the MK4 got a wire reticle.....

I'm sure it has an etched recticle but am wondering if there is any real difference in glass coatings, image vrs a MK4.

It was mfg early 90's.

I think the Ultra had the wire reticle along w/ some tracking issues; supposedly?

I run an Ultra 16x on my .50 and it tracks fine. Maybe I just got a good one?
