Check out the Savage MK II.
I'm not sure if they still run the promo, but last year or the year before, they ran a program through the NRA that if you were promoting a child into target shooting they had a special on the Mark II bolt action rifle (firearm+tascam scope for less than $300)
It produces good groups, and will stand up to the occasional "muzzle whack" that children often cause when getting use to the length of a firearm
Sorry for the poor pic quality, it's late and I used the phone-cam

::edit:: In case you can't tell from the pic, it is a composite stock (might matter, might not, just FYI)
