Mossberg® Adds 940 Pro Waterfowl Shotgun in Realtree® Legacy

Launched in 2021, the Mossberg 940 Pro Waterfowl 12-gauge autoloaders are field-proven shotguns built for the extremes. For 2025 the 940 Pro Waterfowl is continuing on with an optic-ready receiver cut to accept direct mounting of micro-dot  optics (RMSc-pattern), while also becoming available fully finished in Realtree’s Legacy pattern.

The 940 Pro Waterfowl Series is engineered for the wet, cold, and dirty conditions waterfowlers face. Key features include  weather-resistant Cerakote® metal surfaces; 28-inch barrels with HIVIZ® CompSight® fiber-optic front sights;  durable synthetic, self-draining stocks and forends; and nickel-boron coatings on several internal components (gas piston,  magazine tube, hammer, sear, and return spring tube). The design also incorporates stainless steel rings and a hard-anodized aluminum return spring plunger for long life and low maintenance.

Built to run reliably in the field, the 940 Pro’s gas system can operate up to 1,500 rounds before cleaning and will cycle factory-manufactured 2.75" or 3" loads of 1 1/8 oz. or greater (to what is currently available on the market at the time of this press release). Ergonomic, hunter-friendly features include an oversized, beveled loading port with a redesigned elevator and shell catch for pinch-free loading; a barrel manufacturing process that preserves point-of-aim and impact; a slim-profile forend; and a user-configurable stock with adjustable length-of-pull (13–14.25"), drop and cast options. Large charging handle and paddle-style bolt release controls make operation fast and intuitive in cold or gloved hands. When optics aren’t mounted a cover plate is included to preserve a sealed receiver.

940 Pro Waterfowl Optic Ready Realtree® (Model 85186) — This optic-ready 12-gauge, 3-inch autoloader features a 28" AccuChoke™-compatible vent-rib barrel and an extended X-Factor™ Modified choke plus flush Full and Improved Cylinder chokes. Metal surfaces (receiver and barrel), stock and forend wear the Realtree® Legacy® camo pattern. The package includes Mossberg’s aggressive signature texturing on stock and forend, sling swivel studs, a 5-round capacity, drilled & tapped/optic-cut receiver, ambidextrous safety, and an MSRP of $1,141.
