Nikon SlugHunter 3-9×40 Will allow you to accurately shoot that shotgun out to 200 yards. $249 @ Cabelas
Another option is the Leupold VX-I shotgun scope. It is a 2-7 power as opposed to the Nikon’s 3-9 and is parralax free at 75 yards as opposed to Nikon’s 100 yards. It is also a little cheaper at 200 bucks.
You said you already have the mounts, don’t skimp on the rings! A really nice scope can be made cheap with bad rings. I only use Leupold Rings or if they are not available, the Warne Rings will do in a pinch.
You can spend a lot of money on a scope-
Leupold, Nikon, Burris are all good-
I found that the 4 power (fixed) shotgun scope offered by Weaver was a good deal on a well made scope-Natchezz shooters often puts them on sale.
This is what sits atop my 870 express- though i went w/ the 24" cant. barrel. that 3" of steel makes a difference in the felt recoil. Good luck.
I have a Nikon 2-7X32 on one of my shotguns…..
Take a look!….

Mine has given me decent performance, always stays on point and has been a pleasure to use……
i have a 870 express with a bsa scope in it, killed a 14 pointer this year with it
