Am I looking for too much out of the rifle?
I would highly doubt you get .5MOA consistently out of a bargain bin AR with a lightweight barrel and factory loads. It doesn't have a match barrel, a good trigger, or is freefloated.
It COULD be possible, but more realistically you're going to be looking at ~1.5" accuracy (5 shot groups) with most standard ammo. That's assuming you have good ammo and do your part.
IMO, if you want to have that sort of accuracy out of a rifle in that ballpark of price you should look at Savage/Remington/CZ bolts actions.
If you want a more accurate setup out of the box, you might look at Rock River Arms?
