O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc., a leading American firearms manufacturer, was recognized with two National Rifle Association (NRA®) Publications Golden Bullseye Awards, presented during the recent NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The Mossberg [940 Pro Waterfowl](https://www.mossberg.com/firearms/shotguns/940-pro/940-pro-waterfowl.html) autoloading shotgun was awarded Shotgun of the Year by American Hunter, and recognized as the Long Gun of the Year by NRA Women was the Mossberg [940 Pro Tactical](https://www.mossberg.com/firearms/shotguns/940-pro/940-pro-tactical.html) autoloading shotgun.

Winners of the NRA Golden Bullseye Awards are selected by a committee of editors, graphic designers, and veteran NRA Publications staff, representing over a century of collective experience in the shooting and hunting industry.

For consideration for a Golden Bullseye Award, the product must be recently introduced and available to consumers; evaluated by an NRA staff member or regular contributor to the magazine; exceeded the evaluator’s expectations; be innovative in design and function; and styled in a manner befitting the shooting and hunting industry. This year’s awards celebrated 21 years of recognition for the best new products in shooting sports.

The Mossberg [940 Pro](https://www.mossberg.com/firearms/shotguns/940-pro.html) autoloading shotgun platform is based on a cleaner-running, redesigned gas-operating system with corrosion-resistant internal parts and finishes. Other key design features include an enlarged and beveled loading port, an elongated, pinch-free elevator, and a bright orange anodized follower configured for ease of loading.

Externally, 940 Pro shotguns have an adjustable length-of-pull stock and shims for drop-at comb and cast adjustments for added customization. The forend features a slim profile; and both stock and forend feature Mossberg’s signature aggressive texturing for a secure grip. Available models include competition, waterfowl, turkey, field, and tactical; select models feature optic-cut receivers for direct mounting of microdot sights.

Accepting the awards was Richard Kirk, Mossberg’s Senior Director of Marketing, “What a tremendous honor; and on behalf of everyone at Mossberg, I would like to express our appreciation to the NRA Publications staff, and specifically to NRA Woman and American Hunter for recognition of our 940 Pro shotgun,” remarked Kirk.
