It might shoot better clean and it might shoot worse. Did you leave clearance on bottom of recoil lug? When torqued down you want reciever bottomed out not the recoil lug. If lug hits first you're pulling on the action. Binding it.

Fulcrum gives you added velocity

I'll bet that cleaning did the trick.

If not, get yourself a bore scope. Rust has a way of ruining barrels in humid climates especially if they've sat for a while. I've seen it alot when looking at used guns to buy. There can be no rust on the outside but the bore gets rusty. Most people oil their guns before putting them away but sometimes the bore gets forgotten.

The first and least expensive thing I would do is try the old stock. If it shoots good then you know it isn't the barreled action but the new stock. JMO

Update. 2 days of working and taking notes from members. Thank you. Idk what exactly fixed it cleaning the barrel or rebed stock. But I'm happy.

Lots of moonlight dancing, sacrifices, and of course the pixie dust.

Glad it worked out.

Oh yeah!!! Pretty awesome how this story turned out. You may find that it cleans easier and does not foul as quickly since you super scrubbed that bore.
Good luck with it in the future

The Vanguard front screw goes into the bottom of the recoil lug. Most folks believe this type of action should be bedded with the bottom of the recoil lug touching the stock unlike round actions where there should be clearance.
