Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4 16X M-1 vs. 16X M-1A Ultra

[Phil1]

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?

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?
