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. For more information on this fast-firing shotgun, available in the buyer's choice of Synthetic Black or Black Multicam, check out the videoembedded above, hosted by Digital Associate Editor David Herman.
