At how many yard was it zeroed? And what was the distance when you used the 9 power?

How much did it shift? My thinking is that the magnification should not affect the zero
Really dumb question here.
Did you torque and loc tite the screws?
I inherited a sporterized 1903A3 from my Father. It was very inconsistent. I figured the scope needed changing so when I took it off I discovered that 1 screw in the forward base was loose enough that the base wobbled back and forth. This wasn't apparent to me with the scope attached.
I torqued everything and aplied loc tite to all the screws and problem solved.

poi should hold throughout a magnification range. yeah check the scope rings and base to make sure nothing is loose. did you put it back to 16x and did it go back to hitting the center?

None of the scopes I own hold zero when the power is changed a good bit. All are consumer level cheaper ones but still...
I zero them to one power for what I'm doing with that gun and just shoot there.

Without knowing if POI change is slight or significant, or how that rifle is set up, it’s also worth mentioning that shooter’s setup on the stock may possibly be differing significantly when shooting at 9x vs. 16x.
Thanks for the reminder
That reminded me to look at one of my scopes that was losing zero. Sure enough, the screws holding the mounting block to the scope were not tightened enough and let the scope move around a bit even though it was tight on the rail.

Good quality scopes will stayed zeroed at all magnifications. Trash the weaver and shell out for a Leupold, Leica, Zeiss, etc
Vortex makes a real quality scope for the money.

This does not surprise me, the Kaspa series is not well regarded in the optics community.

I seem to remember once that they are made in China.

Check your eye relief to manufacturer spec, and ensure you've eliminated the parallax out of the scopes mounting distance. Adjusting the magnification will not adjust zero, but it can introduce parallax that does shift your POI away from your POA.
