This week we're taking a closer look at the Mossberg 940 JM Pro. A semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun initially designed for the competition circuit, the Jerry Miculek-designed 940 JM Pro is a great option for high-volume snow-goose hunters. A redesigned gas system makes the action almost impervious to grit and grime, while oversized controls make the gun easy to operate.
