Launched in 2021, the Mossberg 940 Pro Waterfowl and the Mossberg 940 Pro Snow Goose 12-gauge autoloaders provide waterfowlers with durable, high-performance shotguns built for the extremes. Now Mossberg is taking these field-proven shotguns to the next level with an optic-ready receiver, designed to accept the direct mounting of micro dot optics (RMSc-pattern). And the 940 Pro Waterfowl will wear a new camo-finished stock and forend with the latest from Mossy Oak®, their Vintage Shadow Grass® pattern.
Mossberg’s 940 Pro Waterfowl Series features Cerakote metal surfaces; 28-inch chrome-lined barrels equipped with HIVIZ CompSight front fiber optic sights; durable synthetic forends and self-draining stocks. Further enhancing the 940 Pro is a nickel boron-coating on internal components (gas piston, magazine tube, hammer, sear, and return spring tube), stainless steel rings, and a hard-anodized aluminum return spring plunger.
Designed to reliably perform the 940 Pro includes a gas system that may run up to 1,500 rounds before cleaning and will cycle factory-manufactured 2.75 or 3-inch ammunition that is 1 1/8 ounce or greater. Standard features include oversized, beveled loading port with redesigned elevator and shell catch to allow for efficient and pinch-free loading into the magazine tube; 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 paddle-style bolt release for ease of operation. And now, these versatile autoloaders feature an innovative receiver cut to directly mount optics. A cover plate is included when an optic is not in use.
940 Pro Waterfowl Optic Ready (85164) – This optic ready 12-gauge, 3-inch autoloader features a 28-inch AccuChoke-compatible vent rib barrel equipped with a HIVIZ CompSight front fiber optic sight.

Metal surfaces (receiver and barrel) wear a weather resistant Cerakote finish in Patriot Brown which naturally blends with the Mossy Oak Vintage Shadow Grass camouflaged stock and forend. Rounding out this package is aggressive Mossberg signature texturing on the forend and stock; sling swivel studs; 5-round capacity; optic-cut receiver; drilled and tapped receiver; and ambidextrous safety.
