I gave up using slings. I use something similar to the Kifaru Gunbearer and like it much more than the slings I have.

I use a leather Montana sling and a Quaker claw sling. I like them both!

I have something similar in a camo fabric. Been using it for years. Yowza, but $8+ to ship one is fawkin absurd.

I bought mine at a local gun show, so only sales tax. They also have a website with less shipping I think.

Butler Creek Mountain Sling. Never saw the need for anything else.

For carrying or shooting?

Slogan sling (slogan outdoors) Get the ultra flex, it's rubber and won't slide off your shoulder. It also has a lifetime guarantee. I have tried numerous, but got this one about six years ago. It's a keeper.
Been using this for the last 5 or 6 seasons and have enjoyed them: https://www.butlercreek.com/slings/comfort-stretch-firearm-sling

I have been running a stone glacier gun barer for the the last three seasons, but this is my backup...

I tried leather slings, but I haven't found one that stands up to backpack hunting.

I have not used the Montana gun sling, but 2 that look similar... not claiming they were of equivalent quality. I primarily back pack hunt and switch my sling between my shot gun and rifle so my sling is in the snow and rain (this past week it was in and out of a packraft in Alaska and in the rain for several days straight on Adak) and sitting for hours in the bottom of a canoe and eventually the leather rots and rips through (both times in 3 months or less). Twice I had my rifle fall backwards off my should and dig barrel first in the mud requiring me to pack it in for the day... so even though Montana slings might be super burly I would carry my rifle in my hands before I trust a leather sling again.
And yeah I realize you need to care for leather, but after oiling my boots, drying out a tent, bag, pad, cleaning game bags, cleaning a rifle, etc. I don't have time for another product that needs regular maintenance to work properly.

The Quake Claw sling is the best sling I have ever found. It is quiet and soft and will absolutely keep your rifle on your shoulder carrying a pack or not. It just plain works!
