As far as I know, that "BTH" is just the letters assigned to that particular Savage Model 11 model. All the remaining models in that series have different three letter designations. Savage has this THING about assigning letters to most of their models as a way to tell them apart from the other models in the same series.

Sounds good! Guess one of these days when I've got nothin to do, I'm gonna have to sit down and figure out what the heck all the other Savage model designations stand for.

The actual designations mean
B= Laminate stock
T= Thumbhole
H= Hinged Floorplate
