1.024... a bit lower than suggested but it works for me!

1.024/1.025 - honestly it changes a smidge from time to time, but usually closer to 1.024... sometimes

I pretty much treat anything between 1.023 and 1.026 as close enough. I have serious doubt that the hobby quality instruments are capable much more precision than that.
