Hi mate as said the hawke will do you fine for your .22 daytime distance, getting to know your ground will help too, whenever I have covered new ground I always carry the rangefinder and ping the hotspots you will be surprised how quickly it sticks

Rim fire at 100 yards with a bit wind chucked in isn't straight forward just shoot to what your comfortable with and always check your backstop, good luck and enjoy

If you are zeroed at 50 yds and usings subs, you will be 6-7 inches low at a 100yds.

Your ground sounds very similar to mine so as the rifle is new to you try and stick to the 50-60 yard rabbits until you get the hang of it and then try shooting further. If you are ever my way I have a Leica range finder here that you could borrow to see if it improves your shooting, saves buying one if it doesn't.
