100 yards, yeah maybe 100', 125' if theres no wind.

With a single shot you'll have maybe a 50% chance of hitting a man sized target at 100' with an upgraded AEG (400fps) if your lucky. Short burst (3-5 shots) will have a much higher chance of having one or two hit.

With a bolt action spring sniper rifle (450fps) you should be able to hit a target at 100' fairly consistently (65-75% of the time?) and maybe 125-150' with far less consistency.

This is of course if theres no wind and all is well with your gun. If you can shoot a .308 that well it doesn't mean much with airsoft because of the difference in ballistics. Low velocity round projectile out of a smooth bore versus a high velocity (relatively) bullet out of a rifled barrel, massive difference.
