It occurs to me that we may have been talking about two different types of tunnel vision. People sometimes use that phrase to refer to eye relief problems, which cause you to see a black donut around the image in the scope. Depending on how much of the target picture you can still see, this problem can be minor or major, but it can always be fixed by changing the distance between your eye and the scope.
The sort of tunnel vision I was originally referring to is psychological in nature. It's easy to let the superior view through a magnifying scope seduce you. You start scanning around with it, trying to find the opponents you think might be hidden in the brush over yonder, and your situational awareness of anything not in your field of view just goes away. This sort of tunnel vision can be avoided by keeping both eyes open while looking through the scope, and lowering your weapon when you aren't actually engaging a target.
