Default 870 scope setup

i love my 870 express mag turkey gun. but after this year i want a scope. i get the worst turkey fever imaginable. this years bird, if you missed my post, i clobbered right in the wing with hevi shot. thankfully it WAS hevishot. i got the pattern and penetration to put a hurtin on him.

but i want a scope...it will force me to aim..not point and pull the trigger. and with the pattern i throw i feel i almost NEED a scope.

what are my mounting options since its not drilled and tapped like a mossberg?? or should i have it drilled and tapped??

what scopes do you turkey hunters use?? ive never used one on a turkey gun...i want something that i'll beable to see thru quickly and easily. not some tiny dinky thing that has a terrible FOV..dont really need magnification..but im open to a variable low power...even open to red dots or holo sight systems...what do you guys think???

also..it need to hold up to 3in mag abuse.

thanx guys
