60 yards and I reckon the only way you'd get a clean kill is if you could chuck the rifle that far and were very, very lucky.
30 yards is best effective range, maybe out to 45 if you've a bipod and are good - otherwise, the risk of injury and a lingering death is just too high.
Alternatively, if you're after a bit of Jedi-style 'shooting with the Force', take a peek at http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=265422
S410K, Lightning XL, Supertens long & short, S400 in Evanix thumbhole stock - all 177. Raider & Sirocco in 22.
If it ain't broke, try harder.
