I hear good things about these barrels from some competition circles but they aren’t widely used. At least some of them use a longer than mid-length, proprietary gas system.
Anybody have one, know anything about them?

Yeah, got a stretch 16 around 3 -4 years ago. Very accurate. Got it discounted, list price was around $300 at that time.
Cannot compare it to other known high end barrels other than a Ranier Select it replaced. Definitely more accurate than the Select but Ranier has higher end barrels than the Select these days.
Has an intermediate gas system, between a midlength and rifle, hence "stretch". Supposed to be softer shooting than mid. Profile is medium so not crazy heavy, around 32 oz iirc. Its my all around carbine; good for 3 gun matches as well as HD. Wylde chamber, never a malfunction in thousands of rounds.
Happy w mine.
