I think it is important to remember that certain forums and populations certainly have noticeable brand biases and brand loyalties, rokslide is far from immune to that. I do like when they have quantifiable information and data to back the reviews--- however the anecdotal brand bashers love to jump on quickly.
This link is pretty good when it comes to twisting turrets and quantifiable data. Most brands, to include NF ATACR are not immune from imperfect tracking but some have a greater size variance or greater recurrence of issues. That link goes to show exactly why anecdotal evidence like you suggested doesn't hold water-- the Vortex Razor Gen2 and AMG both tracked as well or better than the ATACRs. But- the sample size isn't large or perfect.
In my experience having owned and shot behind a majority of those brands there are certainly pros and cons and tracking perfection is a variable to consider. I've probably owned a dozen VX5HD, VX6HDs and so far so good. I did have issues with zeiss v4s but also with a swaro Z5 and there were other things I didn't like on those scopes.
For the OPs budget, outside of a VX5HD there isn't much comparable. The Burris XTRIIs don't touch the quality of the Vx5HD but I've see the new XTRIII for less than $1k new but haven't been behind one. I think some of the older Bushnell models (DMR, LRHS) would be worth a look but theyre mainly MIL versions.
