I used to always use Butler Creek Mountain slings and they are still a good option. The textured surface keeps them from slipping off the shoulder and they are very light. But since trying the Montana sling have used nothing else. The 1" Montana is only about 2 oz heavier than the nylon Mountain sling and if mounted on the rifle with the loop at the bottom you have the rough leather on your shoulder. It doesn't slide off. See photo above.
I know the sling is designed to have the loop at the top to use as a shooting sling, but having the rough side against my shoulder is more important to me.
