The M1A is noted to be one of the more accurate battle rifles. Below are 3 -10 shot groups with my rifle that has had nothing done to it to enhance accuracy. In fact, it has been loosened somewhat to give more reliable FA performance. These groups were done with the bipod attached, with standard foreign military ammo. These groups are typical, not good, not bad. The first target on the left was pasted with red dots where the first group hit. The next group were all centered.

50yds? I would hope that the groups would be tighter.

Not likely too much more out of a standard gun with military surplus ammo. Better groups can be gotten with match or handloads.
As mentioned this gun is loose, had a bipod attached, and has had alot of rounds thru it. Note the 5 on the left target they are tight, so it could be ammo inconsistancy, and could be a little looseness in the gun, but overall, I think this is average for what most M1A's deliver.
