Yes, it is bedded into a Boyd's Pro Varmint stock. I replaced the scope with a Vortex Diamonback 16x44. It is 'easy' to shoot 1/2MOA with good reloads (77gn Sierra Match Kings).
With the factory stock it should shoot under 1" at 100yd with good ammo. Just make sure the barrel is not touching the stock when on the rest. If it is, hog it out a bit.
The BIGGEST issue for you is ammo. Most .223 ammo is cheaply made and will struggle to get under 1.5". Much of it won't even do 2".
A new stock will not magically make cheap ammo shoot that much better. I shot with the factory stock and scope quite a bit before I changed and could easily shoot under 1" with good bullets.
If you run into some good stuff, like Black Hills or Federal Gold Medal match ammo, then your stock might limit you.
Having said all that, it is much more pleasant to shoot with a better stock. If buying one now I'd go for an AT-One or a chassis.
