There is no set range limit for a periscope; it's affected by many factors, weather conditions playing a large part.
In addition to weather, the height of the periscope above the water, sea state (height of the waves), target profile (large, small, low or high in the water), daytime or nighttime, all affect a periscope's actual range.
