The most significant problem is offset- your scope will be much higher than the bore. Do some research on optics mounting, before you buy. Cheap option: the Simmons 44mag, or similar. Moderate-to-high-end: Burris Fullfield or Signature.

Thanks. Your link to the AK-47 scope MOUNTS was actually really useful. It jogged me into remembering that when I bought my Rem 870 used last year, the seller gave it to me with a scope attached to it that I took off because I saw no point in it.
I'm positive it's not even remotely top of the line. It's called a "Tasco Pronghorn." Looks like a kid's hobby telescope manufacturer, but it works, and it would probably mount if I got a side rail.
Saves me spending $150 of cashola that I can't afford. Now all I need is a $30 side rail with a quick release.
Thanks to both of you in the thread!
