I chose the 8, I have never shot a 3 MOA, but have found zero issues with the 8 MOA. I'd like to see the size difference in the field of a 3 vs 8. I haven't had any problems killing birds with the 8

I bought the 3moa for my gun and my girlfriend's gun. The 8 took up too much of the field of view for me. I absolutely love the Fastfire 3.

Happy with the 3. Never seen the 8 though.

3 moa here as well. Although I've only been patterning my gun with it so far, I love it.

Shot an 8 for three seasons. Switched to a 3 this season and like it better.

I have run both.
I prefer the 3 to the 8

Got both myself.
I prefer the 8 to the 3.

Much quicker for me to acquire the target...

I have used both but all my T-Guns wear the 8 MOA now...perfect for my 46 year old eyes. For me...8 MOA all day!  :z-winnersmiley:

I have the three. Couldn't be easier to locate the dot and plenty of size and contrast. The major advantage for me is it's more precise than the eight. This comes in handy when you're patterning your gun and trying to adjust the point of aim and point of impact. Less margin for error since you're only covering 3" at 100 yds. as opposed to covering 8". That converts to 1 1/2" at 50 yds. and 3/4" at 25 yds.with the 3". The 8" will cover 4" at 50 yds. and 2" at 25 yds.
I'm sure you could get used to either one but I think the advantage goes to the 3" because of precision.
Whichever you get, you'll be getting a solid, quality sight that performs in the field...
