What's the difference? About $150. Or more.
The Marine Corps version is usually referred to as a "jacket" but Creedmoor and such are a "coat". Lee |

The difference is the same as in a men's clothing store: a coat is longer.

Not sure if this is what the OP means but to me a "Jacket" was always waist or at most hip length and a coat goes below the hip or down onto the leg in length.
Advertisers don't care to be precise though (much like the "clip vs magazine" thing).

There are shooting jackets; relatively inexpensive canvas cloth copies of shooting coats. Also, there are shooting jackets that provide no function other than aesthetics; containing no straps by which to stiffen the stance. Then there are shooting coats; made of expensive heavy leather. The practical difference is that the heavy leather shooting coats will provide a more "stiffening" effect upon the body (especially when firing standing), than can be provided by cloth jackets. A heavy leather shooting coat is an essential piece of equipment needed in high power rifle competition.

There are synthetics, too. This is a good outfit to buy from.
