If we use the x10 boost for MSSJ.
And since we don't know how much more stronger Gohan had to be in Base to handle the Z-Sword Proficiently. (As we didn't see him as an MSSJ using it, only that he had to be in it, since Base wasn't enough. He could have been using it very easily in that form. To the point where he could have been weaker and still been fine with it. We don't know.)
Considering it all: Gohan's likely anywhere between 3-10x Stronger than he was before.
Personally, I doubt he got 10x stronger. But he, at the very, very least. Got 3x stronger.
Whatever you use for SSJ doesn't really matter [in this instance]. He effectively gains whatever you believe the SSJ2-SSJ3 difference is... because he goes from:

SSJ2 Gohan < SSJ2 Goku
...to...
SSJ2 Gohan < SSJ3 Goku

Although this is a very simple breakdown and will also depend on your personal gaps in each instance.

Ki gains have never been coherent with strength gains. Trying to suggest that Gohan became vastly more powerful within only one day of swinging around a weighted sword is outlandish.
If that was the case, the same training regime would have already been adopted by them long before.
Gohan simply suggests that the Z-Sword was a "Good workout," which should speak volumes for any serious gains you think he might have.

The Old Kai's existence, and statement throws serious doubt in any previous conception they had.

It's not too far fetched. I mean Gohan made a 1307x boost just by getting angry and that happened in less than 20 seconds. At least with the Z sword it's more explainable.

Gohan when he first gets the Z-Sword.
Spoiler: click to toggle

Some time later, it shows Gohan needed to use MSSJ to train proficiently with the Z-Sword.
Spoiler: click to toggle

Later on again, Gohan is now able to train with the Z-Sword in Base, but is still struggling.
Spoiler: click to toggle

Goku here uses the Z-Sword with more ease than Gohan when he initially pulled it out, but, not quite, as well as Gohan currently was.
Spoiler: click to toggle

Now another day later. We see that Base Gohan is rather proficient in handling the Z-Sword. Where he formally needed to be in MSSJ to handle it proficiently. (While he still likely can't handle it as well as MSSJ, back when he had to use it to train with it.)
Spoiler: click to toggle

Gohan states that he's gotten a lot stronger. However, Goku questions if he's strong enough to beat (Fat) Majin Buu / Still not strong enough to beat (Fat) Majin Buu "Depending on the Translation". Buu, who is around SSJ3 Goku level.
Spoiler: click to toggle

If we use the x10 boost for MSSJ.
And since we don't know how much more stronger Gohan had to be in Base to handle the Z-Sword Proficiently.

Lol This post actually proves my point of Gohan gaining big increases, he would have to more than double his power, because he surpasses his SS in his Base.

If Gohan training with a sword doesn't increase his power, then neither does Vegeta Training under higher Gravity.

Gohan's made the biggest gains in the series. Going from 1 to > 1,000 in just a year, and trumping Trunks, Vegeta and Goku in the RoSaT.

His gains don't make sense. Goku was directly referring to SSJ2 Gohan, no rage boost or anything. If that were the case, surely the statement would've been; ''If Gohan got angry, would he be a match for Boo?'' as opposed to questioning whether Gohan could beat him regularly. You may not like it, but we're shown;

SSJ3 Goku > Fat Boo >~ SSJ2 Gohan (Post Z-Sword) >>>>>>> SSJ2 Goku > SSJ2 Gohan

Anger is an actual proven vehicle for achieving such power; the Z Sword is openly refuted as not being one.

It was revealed to not possess any power-boosting properties outside from the Elder Kaioshin sealed within it. Therefore, there is no logical or plot-driven justification for Gohan to obtain any great power from a mere day. The training he did was nothing special from what he could’ve achieved elsewhere.

When people read the manga not out of casual interest but solely to determine characters’ powers, then your view is already limited towards details which serve that motive; your conclusions are built upon them. But since the manga was never intended to be read that way, you lack a complete narrative perspective and things are bound to be taken out of context, as they have here.

We are shown time and time again that when exposed to new training methods that Gohan makes insane gains regardless. If i remember correctly Gohan hadnt done any weight training whatsoever before the Z Sword. Perhaps since the Z Sword was extremely heavy, it became his weight training.

No great gains came after a single day of training.

Such an important factor shouldn't so freely be overlooked.

Piccolo makes at least a 3x-4x gain (using unbelievably minimal gaps) in 6 days on Kaio's planet, no?

Although, it's suggested to be much, much higher than merely 3x-4x

Proficiency in handling the blade has no direct correlation to their respective power.
Goku actually has trouble just lifting the blade up, whereas Gohan no longer has difficulty doing so.

Piccolo (Saiyan saga) << Gohan's Masenko = 2800 -----> Piccolo (Freeza arc) >>/>>> Nail = 42,000. Not one day, but a couple of days, which should also fall under the category of 'outlandish' notions from what I can gather.

If that was the case, the same training regime would have already been adopted by them long before.
Piccolo and Goku both trained on Kaio's, the latter arguably training harder based on what little we see of the former, but who made the far larger gains in a shorter period of time?

Those conceptions being that the sword itself would allow them to beat Boo, so I can't say you're wrong here.

Goku and Piccolo underwent the same training (the latter arguably taking it more easy), but the respective gains don't correlate.

More like at least 20x, given that Piccolo (Saiyans) < 2800 < 42,000 < Piccolo (Freeza).

Maybe you missed my point.

From what is shown, Gohan can wield the sword with less effort than Goku does. But clearly admits to being inferior to him in power, and hopes to lessen that difference:

Again, proficiency in handling the Z Sword is not a true criterion for how strong they actually are. It is a flawed assumption that Gohan would become stronger than Goku simply from that achievement when there is no solid foundation for it.

The examples are not corresponding circumstances:

1. It is Gohan’s individual power in question, what another character can gain from their training is unrelated.

2. Something you’ve already noted - the training lasted only one day; that is the applicable duration in this case.

3. The nature of training with the Z Sword is a more limited approach, which primarily works the arms; unlike the versatility of other training methods.

Bringing himself to Goku's level likely means at maximum, as in bringing Gohan's maximum [SSJ2 at the time] closer to SSJ3 Goku.

Just putting it out there, Gohan always overestimates Goku when comparing himself to Goku.

Gohan thought 50% Goku was incredible and then thought the IT KHH against Cell was a warm up.

At that point we do have confirmed facts.

1. Gohan is at least equal to Goku based on how they handled the sword more or less the same.

2. Gohan would hit harder due swinging a sword around.

So the general conclusion is that after the Z-Sword Training:
SSJ3 Goku = (Fat) Buu"Full Power" > SSJ2 Gohan >>> SSJ2 Goku = SSJ2 Majin Vegeta > SSJ2 Gohan(Tournament) = SSJ2 Vegeta.
"Yeah, I believe the Majin Buff is a power increase that can only be retained if the Majin Seal is still effecting the individual."
