We carry out a high-precision simulation of the two-dimensional SU(3) principal chiral model at correlation lengths {xi} up to {approx_equal}4{times}10{sup 5}, using a multigrid Monte Carlo (MGMC) algorithm. We extrapolate the finite-volume Monte Carlo data to infinite volume using finite-size-scaling theory, and we discuss carefully the systematic and statistical errors in this extrapolation. We then compare the extrapolated data to the renormalization-group predictions. For {xi}{approx_gt}10{sup 3} we observe good asymptotic scaling in the bare coupling; at {xi}{approx_equal}4{times}10{sup 5} the nonperturbative constant is within 2{endash}3{percent} of its predicted limiting value. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
