Thanks again, guys.
Adding a pad is not a big deal. But, for 20 years I've been making an X cut and the broken "fragile little points" were often marring otherwise decent work. The single cut is the now obvious answer.
An extra inch for my buttplated NID, now to 15 1/8" and ready to shoot. Pad needs final polish and aging.
