I was just doing some Yellow Jaket research and found this post.

The 707Y was introduced in 1991 as part of Camillus' 115th Anniversary.
It appears in the catalogs through 1994. We do not have a 1995 catalog or price list, but it does not appear in the 1996 catalog.

So it was made from 1991 through 1994 & perhaps 1995; a 5 or 6 year production.
This is not particularly short in the Yellow Jaket series from what I can see.
But it is a large pattern and as such, I think they were typically produced in smaller numbers than the smaller patterns like a stockman, as an example.

I hope this helps,
