Ditto on the Leupold 1x4 shotgun scope, I' ve had one on a Remington 870 for 10 years now. I use it only for turkey hunting though. Should work great for deer hunting also.

i wouldnt use a scope with a shotgun shooting slugs. iron sights are the way to go. if you cant hit somthing at 50yrd, you need to practice more.

however, if you are intent on getting a scope, you dont need anything more than a 1x3.

Each to their own..I have an 870 pump gun with TruGlow sights on it & they are awesome...I wouldn' t waste my money on a scope. If you can' t put 3 shots into a paper plate at 100 yrds then you need to practice till you find the slug that will do the job for you....Challenger Slugs will do that for me!!!!! Most shotgunned deer are much closer than 100 yrds in fact the couple I shot last season were about 10 yrds away & the spike horn I got this year was about 15 yrds away so definitely a scope was not needed!!!!!!!! Good luck...........Brampton Mike [8D]

thanks for all the replies, prolly leaning to a fiber optic sight, I can smack a plate consistently ( making 3" groups 8&gt ) with just factory sights , i' m blind in one eye so two eye acquisition is out of the question
Thanks again for all the input!
