Magnus Stinger vs. Muzzy Phantom

[Bowhunter4life]

I've got one bow that really likes 125 grain broadheads on my Gold Tips.  Looking to get some wide 2-blades or 4-blades to shoot out of it.  The only 1 1/2" wide 2-blade 125 grain head I've found is the Silver Flame XL, so I'm kinda looking at 4-blades and have narrowed it down to these two.

I realize this is probably splitting hairs, but which do you like and why...

I can always stick with my 125 grain Snuffers, or Snuffer SS, or Razorcaps... but kinda looking for a 2 or 4 blade thus the question...

Stingers. They are easier to get apart and sharpen very easy. They also have the lifetime warranty. I'm not sure if the phantoms have that.

[HATCHCHASER]

I prefer the stingers. Sharper out of the pack and more durable. Ymmv.

Stingers

Stingers...much sharper IMHO.  Also warranty is great.  Sharp on the front and back of all blades.

I've shot both but now stick w/Stingers.  Both fly well,both were easy to sharpen and both did great jobs on deer for me. But I give the Stingers the edge because of the diamond tip and the lifetime warranty.  I feel the Diamond tip is stronger and have had it blow through leg bones and ribs with great results. I've sent back some of my Stingers and had new packs arrive quickly with no questions.  Plus if you send them some pics of animals taken they'll throw you a hat.  Joe
This is a pic of the off side leg of a doe I shot last year the leg is twisted because the Stinger completely sheared the two leg bones in half.

Stingers for me. Phantom 4 blades are a pain to assemble and disassemble.

[BWD]

Stingers...I like the smaller size bleeder.

[SS Snuffer]

Stingers shot thru my last 4 deer. Very good bloodtrails.

Stinger Buzzcuts all the way. Four blades are better then two!!

[Bowhunter4life]

What are your setups?  This will be the lightest bow I own at 55# @ 29".

[RLA]

I'll go against what seems to be the majority. I have shot deer with the 125gr. 4 blade Phantom in the past and I killed a buck this year with the 220gr. 4 blade Phantom,( I like them ).  I tried to try the 125gr. 4 blade Magnus stingers last year. They were good and sharp straight out of the pack and I thought I was going to like them, but out of the 6 I bought 3 had loose rattling bleeder blades that would have been real game spookers. I had them tight and there was no fix, so they went back to the store. Not worth the trouble of weeding out the bad ones for me. As a 2 blade I think the Magnus stingers would be the way I would lean with the replaceable main blade, but as a 4 blade I'll give the edge to Muzzy Phantons. jmo

phantoms made a believer out of me over this past weekend

[Walt Francis]

They are both excellent heads, but I prefer the Phantoms.

[Red4arm]

Stingers for me. Sharp diamond tip, easy to find locally, easy to sharpen. Blow thru deer like hot butter.

[raideranch]

Phantoms

[RC]

Phantoms for me as well. I can get them scapel sharp.RC

[Biggie Hoffman]

Phantoms here too....I've never seen the need for a lifetime warranty on a broadhead so that's a moot point for me.
Besides being a head I can count on, the Mussachia's are good people and they are BOWHUNTERS.

[Avid Archer]

Both are great broadheads, I wish Muzzy would make a 150 or 175 grain version of the Phantom though.
