Mossberg 940 Waterfowl 12GA 28" 5+1 Optic Ready Semi-Auto Shotgun

The Mossberg 940 Waterfowl delivers reliable semi-automatic performance engineered specifically for waterfowl hunting in harsh conditions. This 12-gauge shotgun combines fast cycling action with weather-resistant construction to handle everything from early season teal to late season mallards. The optic-ready receiver accepts popular red dot sights for faster target acquisition in low-light conditions.

What Makes This Different

The 940 Waterfowl features Mossberg's gas-operated system that cycles 2¾" and 3" shells reliably without adjustment. Unlike many semi-autos that struggle with light loads, this system handles everything from 1⅛ oz target loads to 3" magnum waterfowl rounds consistently. The Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades camo finish provides superior concealment in marsh environments, while the extended magazine tube holds 5+1 rounds for quick follow-up shots on passing flocks.

Key Features

• Gas-operated semi-automatic action cycles 2¾" and 3" shells without adjustment

Field performance centers on the reliable gas system that functions in temperatures from -20°F to 120°F without failure. The 28" barrel provides optimal velocity for steel shot while maintaining manageable swing characteristics for crossing shots. Waterfowl hunters report consistent cycling with loads ranging from 1⅛ oz steel to 1⅝ oz bismuth without cleaning between boxes. The receiver's optic cuts accommodate popular red dots like Vortex Venom and Trijicon RMR for precise shot placement in dawn and dusk conditions.
