Hello, I'm shooting 27" @ 55#, I'm looking for broadhead options, easy to tune and reliable. Deer size game. Thanks for you opinions.

Any fixed blade with that set up IMO. Honestly, there are so many good and valid options out there. If the bow is tuned well, and arrow isn't defective, and head passes a spin test (no wobble) they will all shoot well. My personal favorites are two blade single bevel options (currently shoot a 200gr single bevel from Grizzlystik) - however for ease and affordability I usually circle back and recommend: Slick Trick Magnums OR ViperTrick QAD Exodus NAP Thunderhead Nitro or the basic tried and true Thunderhead If you want to dabble in forged or beveled two blades I prefer Grizzlystik offerings in the Samurai style - their Overkill line up are still VERY high quality steel capable of beating bone but much more affordable than the normal "black" line.
100% agree, I'd go with a fixed head with a shorter draw and 55 lbs. I'll throw Muzzy MX-3's onto your list. They are a shorter head that tunes easily. My BIL has been using them for elk, the one spike he's shot with them was a pass through and 60 yard recovery.
Can not argue with the posters response based on his resume but slick tricks fly true make holes and have done it for years, they tune easily and easy blade replacement and durability.
I have had great success with Slick Trick Magnums over the years. I picked up some Magnus Stingers for this year, just to try something different. I haven't shot anything with those yet, so I have no opinion.
