Very good groups you posted for the intro to this thread 
You can only buy so much accuracy, and often guns at half the price will be giant killers in the right hands, and that's the ultimate difference - who's hands is the gun in
It's not the first time I've picked up someone's gun and handed them their proverbial arse on a plate with it 
More expensive guns can make it easier to get better scores, but without the prep on pellets and technique, most shooters will plateau and not move forward without some effort. I've often heard people saying stuff like "I've been doing it that way for 30 years, bla, bla, bla......" and I've just thought to myself, yea, and you have been doing it wrong all that time because you don't learn you muppet
Read a lot on the forum, take it all with a pinch of salt, you will only measure your own accuracy if you actually measure it - get a 25 shot BR card and do a few goes and change things about (slowly and one at a time) to see what measurable difference these changes give you. Focus on it over time, your not going to go from a decent shot to world class overnight, and in a lot of cases, many of us are probably over the hill performance wise if we are honest with ourselves, although I'm still a Chippendale in the bedroom
In many cases you can get more accuracy with a quality gun purely down to fit and finish, feel, and how comfortable you are with it. It's not that cheaper guns are often less accurate, but with sloppy triggers, rough cocking, and less than perfect shot cycle they can make your shooting less accurate as they are not as nice to use - simple as that some times
