Mossberg Releases 940 Pro Turkey Autoloading Shotguns

Advances in ammunition have pushed firearms manufacturers to adapt to the new capabilities in smaller or lighter rounds. Where once a 24-inch barrel once as the standard for a turkey gun, now Mossberg has released an 18.5 inch option. The 940 Pro shotgun is already a staple in auto-loading shotguns, and continues to expand deeper into turkey territory.

Mossberg^® Releases 940^® Pro Turkey Autoloading Shotguns

NORTH HAVEN, CT – In 2020, Mossberg launched the 940 Pro family of 12-gauge autoloading shotguns with the award-winning 940 JM Pro competition-ready shotgun. Now joining this line of high-performance autoloaders are two 940 Pro Turkey shotguns. These optics-ready packages feature a choice of 24 or 18.5-inch barrel lengths; HIVIZ^® CompSight^® fiber optic sight for quick target acquisition; Mossberg X-Factor^™ ported choke tube for improved pattern density; full camo coverage in Mossy Oak^® Greenleaf^™ for the ultimate in concealment; and a host of premium features and finishes.

At the core of the 940 Pro platform is a durable gas system that can run up to 1,500 rounds before cleaning and is compatible with factory-manufactured 2.75 or 3-inch shells. Performance-driven features include oversized, beveled loading port with redesigned elevator and shell catch to allow for efficient and pinch-free loading into the magazine tube; new barrel-making process to maintain point-of-aim and impact; slim-profile forend and user-configurable stock for length-of-pull (13 – 14.25 inches), drop, and cast; and oversized charging handle and bolt release button for ease of operation.

The internal components of the 940 Pro (gas piston, magazine tube, hammer and sear) are nickel boron-coated and the return spring plunger is hard-anodized aluminum. Combined with a self-draining stock, these 940 autoloaders are designed to reliably perform in the harshest of conditions.

940 Pro Turkey 24-inch (85156) – The vent rib AccuChoke^™-compatible barrel on this 12-gauge turkey-slayer is equipped with a HIVIZ CompSight front fiber optic sight and X-Factor^™ XX-Full ported choke tube (additional choke tubes sold separately).
