Personally I'm a big fan of old Mossberg bolt actions. They were reasonably priced when they were new, and can still be had for reasonable prices. All of mine are accurate and they're built like tanks.

If you are just kicking cans and having fun and not bulls eye shooting then I suggest an older Ruger 10-22. Every part is available on line as well as enough after market parts to turn it into a star wars gun. And welcome aboard, you will learn alot and laugh alot.
You will need to buy two rifles if your wife expects to shoot the rifle on a regular basis ... she will not want to rezero the sighting system after you've had the rifle out for a spin. Save yourself a ton of headaches and buy her her own rifle.Its kind of a bit of both. Its something id be plinking with every now and again. But the wife likes the .22 rifles and wants one for the anniversary. She is a good shot but more of a target shooter than hunting. But then if its any good id take it out hunting.
I have the last three and love all of them. Especially with a suppressor.I know everyone always praises the Ruger 10-22 but I've never owned one so I can't say anything about them.
The .22LR rifles I use and like are: Marlin 795 (semi-auto with a mag), the Savage Mark II (Bolt action with a mag), the Henry Lever Action .22LR, and the S&W M&P 22 (.22 AR style).
