Not sure on when it was first produced, but I can promise you that you will never look back on your purchase with regret. I love mine, and it is ridiculously accurate. I had some problems with reliability when I first got the gun, but once I put about 100 rounds downrange, it has been dead nuts reliable. I have nothing but positives to say about the Benelli m2. I would, however, caution you against using light loads in the gun. Mine doesn't run well with extremely light loads, but it could also just be my particular gun. Just my 2 cents.
