Shoooting a 45lb Martin Savannah. What other choices besides the Magnus Stinger do I have? Any other good 2 blade heads?
Zwickey makes a few. Ace and Eclipse are a few more good choices.
Abowyer single bevels, plus they're a sponsor which is good.
Simmons, Grizzly,Stos are a few
There are a ton of good choices available to us today, some of which are long time favorites.
Get a version that you can get nice and sharp, that you can get to fly well on your rig, and don't look back.
All of us have our favorites, often because it is just . . . what we use and they work for us. If we gave others a chance, they would likely work well also.

Check out Ace broadheads. Oldest name in broadheads, very easy to sharpen. My choice for elk this year is the 200 grain version.
I have had good luck with Zwickey, Steel force, Woodsmans and VPA. They all do the job. I really like the selection of weights VPA has and the solid one peice design.

As many as the stars in the sky. Fairly sharp cut on contact and you are good to go.
What animal(s) are you planning to shoot with that bow?
What is your TRUE draw length?
Total Arrow Weight?

Whitetails...not sure of total arrow weight,,but it will be around 475,drawing 28"
do you want to shoot carbons? If so you could take a gander at the NAP Big Nasty. It is pretty much an over the ferrule woodsman 3 blade. If you want a normal screw in broadhead you could pick up almost any cut on contact bh.

Many that work equally well - for the last two years I've used Muzzy Phantoms - no complaints
For whitetails with that set up....if I were to use it....I'd use Zwickey Delta 2 blade or Zwickey No Mercy 4 blade.
Eclispe Broadheads very nice . Lifetime guarantee

DO they make those screw in?
No...but you can make them a screw in with a host of different weight adapters....short or long aluminum....steel in 3 different weights that are heavier than the aluminums.....and Abowyer makes some titanium adapters that are long yet light...they cost a bit more.
The only issue with the shorts are that they don't fill the gaps of the furrel all the way in the 4 blade Zs and sometimes that makes them whistle.
There are a lot of really good choices out there for two blades that's for sure, I've just had a long history of success with the Zwickeys....just my favorites I guess, but they will get the job done none the less.
Not to hijack the thread but have you used the titanium adaptors Terry?
I have some....haven't mounted any yet....will soon though as I sure up my whitetail arrows for this fall. Got the adapters and the heads....just need the time!!!
I am shooting muzzy phantoms, haven't shot an animal yet, but when I get my fletching right, they fly sweet. The 125 grain is a 4 blade, but you can remove the little bleeder blade and wind up with a 105 grain 2 blade. Cheers
Scattergun....to Terry's point...I would find the glue on head you like, and then experiment with different screw in inserts. I use hot melt glue until I land on the perfect combination. After that I use JB Weld for a more permanent bond (hot melt is fine, the JB Weld is just me).
I find that "doing it yourself" gives a better glue joint. I have bought lots of screw in heads that had poorly done inserts, glued in all cockeyed.
What about a 125gr Magnus Stinger?
Or maybe a 125 Landshark?
Eclipse heads have been one of my favorites
