Gear Up for Turkey Season With the New Mossberg 940 Pro Turkey

Last year, Mossberg launched the 940 Pro family of shotguns. A new series, highlighted by the 940 JM Pro Competition, the autoloading design elevated Mossberg’s 12-gauge offerings into any conversation of “Best in Class.” Purpose-built and affordable, the 940 Pro proved legit. Now primed for 2021 hunting seasons, the Mossberg 940 Pro Turkey delivers a full system for hard hunting.

The 940 Pro Turkey comes as an optics-ready package. It comes with either a 24- or 18.5-inch barrel, fitted with HIVIZ CompSight fiber-optic sights. The Mossberg X-Factor ported choke tube improves pattern density, according to Mossberg. Finally, the shotgun comes in full camo coverage, sporting Mossy Oak Greenleaf.

The 940 Pro promises up to 1,500 rounds before necessitating cleaning, according to Mossberg. It also runs both 2.75- and 3-inch shells. Performance features include and oversized, beveled loading port with redesigned elevator and shell catch. It delivers more pinch-free loading into the magazine tube. Meanwhile, a new barrel-making process helps maintain point-of-aim, point-of-impact. Stock adjustment, a slim forend, oversized charging handle and bolt release button complete a package full of features demanded by serious shooters.

Internally, Mossberg nickel boron-coats the gas piston, magazine tube, hammer and sear. The return spring plunger features hard-anodized aluminum. Finally, a self-draining stock system rounds out the 940 Pro Turkey.

With options in barrel length, an optics-ready platform, full camouflage and the upgrades the 940 Pro family has become know for, the 940 Pro Turkey becomes an interesting choice for hunters looking to head afield. Turkey hunters demand much in a package gun these days. Mossberg seems to have hit most every mark.
