can you change the choke? if so id go to a improved cylinder or slug choke, if ya cant, its a crap shoot. i have an 870 express that shoots a great pattern with shot, but ya could shoot around the corner with a slug! 6 in low and to the right at 50 yrds. think youll just have to play with it and find out what works best for ya

If it has choke tubes, I'd switch to an improved cylinder. If not, you should be fine with a modified. It won't be as accurate as an improved cylinder, but you should be fine. Just make sure you know your effective range.
Also, research the slugs. Most of them should be safe with a modified choke. I know some aren't supposed to be shot from a full choke, just double check to be safe.
Good luck

It's tough to recommend a slug. Different guns will like different slugs. I'd go buy 4 or 5 different slugs. Just the small box of 5. Shoot 3 of each slug, switching targets between brands. Whichever groups best, go buy another box and hunt.
I'd shoot at 25 or 30 yards with a good solid rest. This should give you a good idea of which slug works best for you. When you find the best group, move back to 50 yards just to see if you can shoot accurate from that distance.
I'd also go with 2 3/4" slugs. 3" or 3 1/2" slugs can be brutal to shoot. And you'll be doing alot of shooting trying to find the right slug.
Good luck.

not a big shotgun slug user so dont have a preference but im sure they are like any other ammo, so just pick one and see how it works for ya. its not a slug gun so yer limited on range and the kill zone of a deer is pretty big target, if it hits a paper plate at 50 yrds it will do the job.
