I got a 3x9 SWFA for Christmas, and it was sold without being mounted. Tunnel vision at 3X and the blurry edges coupled with terrible eyebox sent it packing quick. Maybe those things are not important to some, but the list of negative attributes was just too long for me.
I , like a lot of folks do notice tunneling with the 3-9 when set on 3. When set higher than three tunneling disappears for me. I've no quarrels with the eyebox. I plan on buying more 3-9"s in the near future.
