The ultra has a nicer stiffer laminated stock and fore arm plus a longer scope mounting rail.
It would cost just over $100 to order them as parts from the company.

If those appeal to you then it is worth it.

Welcome Ron! ;) One advantage of the 308 Survivor is it's a bull barrel, the only H&R 308 rifle that's made that way, I have one with camo laminated stock set, I prefer them a lot over the pallet wood stocks, they're a bit heavier, but they're also checkered, another plus. The longer Ultra rail has been discontinued, so don't count on that any more. :-\
