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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
