I think that is a ruger x22 custom for competition shooting they come with a suppressor. But that one has a wood stock. I'm not positive.
at 200 yards with lots of practice can make 3 to 4 inch group I think. liked aimed center neck from the roof.

I’ve hit a soda can with consecutive shots at 300 yards with my Olympic 10-22 but you only really have a chance at making that shot with that (.22 LR) with subsonic rounds because very few .22 LR rounds that are supersonic can maintain that velocity out at that range and transitioning back through the sound barrier crushes precision.

Aguila sells some 1800 or so fps, light .22 but that stuff groups like buckshot at 200 yds.

Theres some other rounds in that range that would work (.17 HMR, .22 WMR) but if this is “agency” or “professional” the shooter is going to pick the absolute lowest failure rate caliber/cartridge combination possible AND have as close to a bulletproof egress plan/route as possible.
