Great no frills rifle. The model "11" denotes the standard short (ie 308 length) action, basically the current version of the old model 10. The model often has a few letters after the number to denote some of the specific packages and configurations. Like most savages, expect accuracy, reliability, durability....don't expect elegance, showroom finish, or a stock you want to show off to your friends (for most models). 6 savages over the years, all including the ugliest one did better than an inch at 100 yards, some much better. The long range 223 I have is an incredible shooter. Assuming it is in tidy shape and a configuration that suits you, as a Savage enthusiast I expect you'd be pleased to have it in your quiver. I am assuming it has an accutrigger which is a known entity and nice factory trigger.
