Nikon 2x7x32 works well, an if you need more help with older eyes....Nikon 3x9x40 will do. Just make sure to get a scope that gathers in all the light it can soak up. This would be good for dawn/dusk situations when the "Big Boy" just decides to step out into the open.

Bushnell 1.75-4X32 Trophy series. The power of your scope is going to be somewhat dependant on the type of ground you hunt. As skinman said, a good light gathering scope is a must for deer hunting. JamesIII

I've got a Busnell Elite 3200 on mine works very well if I was to change to some thing else it would be a 2-7x32 Leopold. Kurt

I have a Leupold VX-1 2x7x33 on my 12 GA. USH.

For $75 less, I've been just as happy with the Nikon Prostaff 2x7x33 that sits atop my NEF Sidekick muzzleloader!

Thanks for the help guys
The way I take any scope with 4+ inches of eye relief will do.

Welcome to GBO.  Another one from IL? 

I have a 20ga USH that I love.  After bedding the scope mount I "temporarily" mounted a cheap ($39 from CDNN) 3-9x50 Compact, Iluminated reticle, scope on it.  My Nikon Pro-Staff hadn't gotten here yet.  The scope is not the best and field of view is marginal, but it does a fair job gathering light.  But it has taken deer the last two years out to 110yds.  So I have been reluctant to change it.  (If it isn't broke, why fix it?)  I have been having a hard time finding Remington BuckHammers locally and I don't want to use up the couple of boxes I have sighting in the other scope.

I last summer bought a 12 gauge USH (SB2-980).  The scope I used was called the Nikon Slughunter, which has a BDC reticule.  The reticule has four lines, one being 50 yards, 100, 150, and 200.  Read the directions on how to site in.  It is a 250 dollar scope, but it is specifically designed for slug guns.  That is what I would get

Hope this helps
