I think the Marlin is a good choice.
The Savage Mark II's are also very good choices.
The CZ 452 or now 455 Trainer mentioned earlier is a good choice as are the regular CZ 22 rifles depending on your budget.
The Henry lever actions are a good choice and the lever actions are just a lot of fun overall. Of course there are the Brownings and Marlins too. But the Henry's are more economical.
I would not get a single shot 22 rifle for your son as I think loading one cartridge at a time is a pain in the butt. Kids want to shoot reasonably fast from time to time and the Henry would allow for that at a reasonable rate of fire versus a 22 semi-auto.
