It changes with the situation. Gophers are 2ft out to some insane (for .22) distances. Targets are mainly 25-100m as I haven't got a fancy gun.
 
Any gopher that I see out to 100 yards, even without a rest is toast with my CZ. If I'm sitting and using my knee's, I'll attemp shots as far as I can see them running around. It's fun. If I'm just playing at the range, I'll shoot out to 300 yards. Sometimes I hit, sometimes I don't. There is no formal rules to having fun with your .22, try it.
 
anywhere between 25 to 300 yards but mostly 100 and more and all that with a 597HBLS with dynapoints 100 yards no wind or very little, groups under 1inch but I mostly shoot at rock up to 300 yards and crows up to 150 yards scope is a tasco varmint 6x24-42with weaver base and a bipod

I was shooting it out to 150 yards a few days ago with the Iron Sights always a few inches away from the GONG but at 100 yards I was killing balloons with an average of 1.25 bullets per balloon. This was also the first time I shot it with the front hood in place and further then the 35 feet I was shooting before.
 
I sight my 597 in for about 30 yards and I find I can adjust enough to whack gophers at around 60 without too much trouble, but beyond that I have to walk them in with about 3 or 4 shots, so I don't really bother for the most part with anything out past about 50 yards... that's what the .223 is for.
 
well, I got bored at the range last week , and I was there alone, and it was 9PM so I thought to myself how inaccurate is my CIL .22 at longer range than the 50 I normally shoot at.
So I set up to shoot at the 300 yard gongs and started plugging away. It was dead calm with 0 breeze, and I was hitting them with 3 out of 10 shots.
I didnt adjust my scope and had to hold so high, the gongs were nearly at the bottom of the scope picture. But I actually found it fun, and have been doing it ever since.
Of course, It is completely useless to try when there is even a small breeze, so I save the "long distance shooting" for ultra calm days. I might have better luck if I wasn't using the cheapo ammo that comes as 500 rounds loose in a box. I.E. winny dynapoints
