You can reach far beyond 200m if you're good with it. When I was still learning the finer points of sniping, I was making the mistake of having a supressor on it (don't do it, it dramatically increases bullet drop, all for not showing up on enemy maps if they are within 40m of you, which they should never be that close anyways). Even so, I still managed what has to be my longest range kill ever with it, which I am pretty sure was upwards of 700m, the target was so far away I had to aim about halfway below the lowest mil-dot towards the bottom of the scope picture (I was using the IO-12 12x scope and had suppressor attached though) and got a headshot kill. I would say this gun is solidly usable out to 400m if you're patient (wait for the target to stop moving or at least not be moving erratically before taken the shot), and is ideal in the 150-300m range bracket (closer and a semi-auto sniper starts to be a better option, and further out, nothing is really all that great at those ranges).
