The only target shooting I know of done at that range with air rifles would be field air rifle, and they tend to use ISSF air rifles with extra pressure and some additional doo-dads on the stocks to allow for seated shooting. Is that the sort of thing you're talking about?

From experience I can say that any of the FAC rated guns should be pretty plinking good at out to 100 yards - things have moved on in the air world. look at Weirauch, Daystate or Air Arms. Not cheap though.
