AIM7F had aerodynamic range, at 40K feet altitude (I assume that’s altitude of missile being fired) of 53 nautical miles. As far as i know, further variants retained the same motor and airframe so they should have similar range, except for P variant, which with the addition of the autopilot, may have had the added option of a somewhat lofted trajectory – enabling even longer range for slower, unaware targets.

Of course the range depends on head or tail chase and altitude. That’s the same for any missile.
