You should only need a pair of 'Cantelever scope rings'.

I've seen them for about $20

Survivor,
Please make sure to buy quality scope rings. Leupold makes very good rings that hold the scope very well. Also, when choosing a scope please make sure to choose a scope designed for shotgun slug guns. There is allot of compression from a slug gun and if you buy a cheap scope you can blow the gas right out of it. There are several manufactures of scopes out there so check out several and put the one on the best suits your hunting needs and budget. I have a Leupold 2-7 Shotgun scope on my 20ga and a Bushnell Trophy 1.75-4 on my Winchester 1300 12ga. Both have been very good. Good luck to you and have a safe and successful hunting season. :D
