How to say "range" in Japanese

• 距離きょりJLPT N1approx.Common
  nounCovers range as distance — how far apart things are or how far something reaches. Since it is fundamentally the word for distance, use it when range means measurable separation or reach.
  ４マイルはかなりの距離きょりだ。↗

  Four miles is a good distance.
• レンジJLPT N1approx.Common
  nounHere range is the kitchen appliance: a stove or cooker. It has nothing to do with range as distance or extent, so choose it only when talking about cooking equipment.
• 音域おんいきCommon
  nounThe range of a voice or instrument: the span from the lowest to the highest note it can produce. Use it for singers, instruments, and their register.
• 射程しゃていCommon
  nounRange in the weapons sense: how far a rifle, missile, or the like can shoot. Use it whenever range refers to the reach of a weapon's fire.
  この銃じゅうは３００メートルの射程しゃていがある。↗

  This gun has a range of 300 meters.
• スコープCommon
  nounA loanword that really means scope or extent — the range of what something covers. For range itself it is marginal: use it only when you mean scope or extent of coverage.

Choose by sense: 距離 for range as distance, 「レンジ」 for the kitchen appliance, 音域 for a voice or instrument's range, 射程 for a weapon's range, and 「スコープ」 mainly for scope or extent rather than range.
