Off shore lifting equipment certificate?

Hope someone can please help. How does a lifting certificate for off shore differ from an on site insurance inspection certificate? I had a lifting company on site Today to carry out our 6 Monthly inspection on our lifting equipmnet (Slings, Eye-Bolts, Shackles Etc.) Prior to Today if i was ever shipping lifting gear off shore i would send a copy of the original certificate along with a copy of the 6 Monthly inspection certificate if the equipment had expired from the base certification date. But Today i was told the 6 Monthly inspection certificate was for use of the lifting gear On Site & On Site only if the equipment was being shipped off shore another inspection would have to be carried out & new certificate produced. Is this correct? how can the integrity of the lifting gear be deemed fit for purpose at my place of work yet need a diferent inspection, certificate for shipping to an oil platform.

Questions on a few rifles?

I am looking at getting a new .22 lr rifle. The models I have in mind are these. First off i was looking at a Marlin XT-22. It is a new rifle marlin just put out and I have not heard a lot about it. It is a bolt action. The next rifle I was considering was the time old Ruger 10-22. The final one I am looking at is a Henry lever action .22 model H001. I know the prices on all of these but any unbiased information you could give me on any of these regarding accuracy, actions, reliability, or customer service would be highly appreciated to help me make my choice. The person who can provide the most information about all of these guns FROM PRIOR EXPERIENCE, will be awarded the best answer.
