I imagine because of Perot, but I guess Montana also has an anti-incumbent streak.
Perot likely played a part.

Perot certainly helped, but we must remember Montana was only a lean R state until the mid-1990s "War on the West" backlash against Gore-influenced greenish polices and the 1994 gun control measures. Note Montana was roughly within national average in the Reagan and Nixon landslides.


Dukakis v. Bush 1988:



Gore v. Bush 2000:


I forget how big a deal 1994 was sometimes. Clinton still won some Southern states in 1996(and Arizona) though.
