that depends on what size point your used to shooting, and wheather or not you prefer fixed blade or mechanicle broadheads. i shoot a 100 grain field point when shooting 3D, and when hunting, i stick with a 100 grain 4 bladed muzzys. it all comes down to personal preferance really. when it comes to mechanicle broadheads, i like the Grim Reapers, but due to them being so pricey, i stick with the muzzys.

I've heard those rages need to stay off the shoulder, as they can bounce off bone, I would go with g5 montec or muzzy

A rage is a good broadhead aswell as many other mechanicals. However due to there design your shot placement must be right on and you have to have a perfect quarter away shot 90% of the time to have them work properly and miss the bones. I personally have shot Muzzys since I started Bow Hunting and have never not found what I shot. When you get into the superfast bows you almost have to go with mechanicals, but with your bow you have the pleasure of having a choice. Do your homework as you are and make a good solid decision based on your hunting methods and shooting capabilities.
This year I am thinking of trying a new broadhead for me. I have heard great things about the Magnus Stingers and just may shoot them this year if they decide to sponsor our team. I like the buzzcut they offer as well with the serrated blades and straight edged bleeders. Would be perfect for a boars thick hide.

The Rage broad heads are the #1 selling redhead in my shop the past 2 years. They make huge entry holes. I have seen several deer in my check station shot with them and they have the biggest entry holes of any other broad head. I do feel penetration is a issue if you get into the shoulder. If you want to try the Rage go with the 40KE model they are for lower poundage bows. Grim Reapers are great mechanicals I have used them for years with tremendous success can't say anything bad about them. With your lower poundage bow I would go with a cut on contact head. If you want a mechanical go with the Grim Reaper Razorcut. You can also open them before you shoot to use them as a fixed blade.

If you are shooting low poundage I would reccomend useing a cut on contact broadhead, such as the thunderhead XP from NAP. I wouldn't recommend using an expandable broadhead because it may not expand when it hits the animal. I had great success with the Braxe broadheads from NAP last year. Almost any broadhead will do the job with a well placed shot.
