IMO.... a 22 long rifle bullet shoots good out to 25 yards. Beyond that it usually will not group very well. But this depends a lot on the gun and ammo you are shooting.

My experience when shooting an old Marlin 60 @ 100 yards [with gun sighted in @ 25 yards with a 4 power scope] is that you have to aim 6 to 8" high using cheep bullets. My grouping are all over the place with a 5 mph wind. If I had to guess, I would say maybe a 8" grouping at 100 yards using a rest.
