Since you plan on receiver mounting it then I would suggest a Picatinny rail such as this one http://www.amazon.com/Millett-Pre-ta.../dp/B004UMA57W and some forward mounting rings like this http://www.midwayusa.com/product/147...op-ar-15-matte

The base and rings are a little higher than your $40 bucks limit but you would be best served with a rig like that since you are receiver mounting instead of a cantilevered barrel rig. It will allow you to take full advantage of that 5" eye relief and not get the old scope eye. Hate the scope eye. It tends to leave a scar. Don't ask me how I know that
Thanx for the detailed recommendations, my first time scoping a shotgun.

I think everybody has had at least one scope ding. Glad mine was minor. I've seen some semi serious half moon eyebrow cuts before.

I learned to back off that scope when shooting to the left.
