How far can you accurately shoot a .22 air rifle?

I zero my scopes for 35 yards on a .22 pushing 30 plus fpe.
This way at 100 yards Im holding over 4-5 mil dots.

Bullpup like that, I'd likely zero at 25 yards depending on how heavy the preferred pellets are. 

I sighted in my .25 Lelya at 30 yards; the distance is a good trade-off for bullpups, keeping in mind intended type of shooting, type of bracing/mount/hold, and weight/shape of the pellets.

Why not figure out what ranges you plan on shooting at; what you plan on shooting at; what pellets you plan on shooting, and what speed they will be flying at and then zero accordingly. I have my Marauder zeroed at 30 yards which allows me not to spin my turret or mess up a range estimate anywhere from about 18 to 40 yards on a squirrel. I figure I can do better than that. With the added benefit of not doing anything to punch paper at 30 yards.

Try using the ChainGun app. You can use it calculate the optimal zero for a given kill zone size and a specific gun, scope, and pellet combination. Select Toolbox then Calibration Items then Optimal Zero.
