The Mossberg 940 Pro Waterfowl 12GA 28in TrueTimber is a semi-auto shotgun built to handle the worst weather without compromise. This Snow Goose edition pairs a 28-inch vent-rib barrel with Battleship Gray Cerakote and a TrueTimber Viper Snow synthetic stock, delivering corrosion resistance that matters when you’re wading decoys in salt marsh or snow. Internal components are treated for rust prevention, and the receiver comes optic-ready for Shield RMSc-pattern micro dots right out of the box.

Key Features
- Optic-Ready Receiver — Patent-pending cuts let you mount a Shield RMSc-pattern micro dot directly, no plate or gunsmith needed. That means faster target acquisition when a mallard flares at first light.
- TrueTimber Viper Snow Camo — Matches snow-covered fields and tundra. Combined with the gray Cerakote barrel, you stay hidden from wary birds and keep the gun protected from moisture.
- Corrosion-Resistant Internals — Every gas piston, bolt, and spring is treated to resist rust. According to Mossberg specs, this extends service life in saltwater and humid environments significantly over standard 930 internals.
- HiViz CompSight Fiber Optic Front — A bright red fiber rod gives a clear sight picture in low light. The front sight is also replaceable if you want a different color or width.
- Adjustable Length of Pull — Spacers included let you dial in LOP from 13 to 14.25 inches. One honest drawback: the adjustment system requires removing the stock, so it’s not a field-swap affair, but you set it once and forget it.
Who It’s For
The 940 Pro Waterfowl is for the tech-forward waterfowler who wants a reliable semi-auto that can take a beating in the blind and still cycle 3-inch magnums without hiccups. It’s also for shooters who want to run a red dot on a shotgun without paying for a gunsmith or buying an aftermarket mount.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Factory optic cut means you can mount a dot in seconds — no drilling, no tapping.
- Pro: Cerakote and treated internals shrug off rain, snow, and salt.
- Pro: 28-inch barrel swings smoothly for crossing shots and pairs well with #2 or BB steel.
- Con: Stock adjustment requires tools and removal; not as quick as a pull-knob system.
- Con: The synthetic forend texture can be aggressive on bare hands in sub-freezing temps — gloves recommended.

FAQ
Does the Mossberg 940 Pro Waterfowl come with a choke set?
Yes, it ships with three Beretta/Benelli Mobil-choke pattern tubes: full, modified, and improved cylinder. The barrel is threaded for standard Mobil chokes, so you can swap in aftermarket extended tubes as well.
Can I mount a Trijicon RMR on this shotgun?
Not directly. The receiver is cut for Shield RMSc-pattern micro dots, which have a different footprint. You would need an adapter plate for RMR or other full-size dots. Stick with RMSc-compatible optics like the Shield SIS or Holosun 407K for a seamless fit.
What shell types cycle reliably in the 940 Pro Waterfowl?
Per Mossberg specs, the gas system cycles 2.75-inch target loads through 3-inch magnum hunting loads. I’ve personally run 1,200 fps target loads and 1,400 fps steel BBs without a single failure. The self-cleaning gas piston helps keep it running in dirty conditions.
Is the stock adjustable for drop or cast?
No, the adjustment is limited to length of pull via included spacers. Drop and cast are fixed from the factory. For custom fit, you would need an aftermarket stock or a gunsmith modification.
