I recently purchased a Charles Daly 12 gauge VR-MC semiauto and am looking to mount a scope for deer hunting.  I am looking at firing no more than 100 yards and will be using a smooth barrel with a rifled choke.  I have hunted plenty of duck and quail but this will be the first season I hunt for deer with a shotgun.  I have a great range nearby where I can sight in and get used to the guns action.  What type/brand slugs and scope would you guys recommend for my first season?

Weaver V3 at about $140 is a great scope for the price.  It will take the recoil.  Buy and test a variety of slugs .
