Is it a wooden stock? a couple of pics may help.

its most likely that the action and barrel are not sitting correctly in the stock, loosen the action screws and place the butt of the rifle on the floor so the rifle is vertical and centre the barrel in the stock and retighten the action screws so the action and barrel are seated in the correct position.
Try this fire to see if it sorts it.

If the problem was not there when you stripped it i thnk Wadi is right. You may have the barreled action not seated correctly. It could be something simple as the back of the action not seated right which is "tipping" the foreend down causing it to touch the stock.

Disassemble it, check everything and reassemble again. If this does not solve it we can go from there.
