The NightForce 2.5-10x32 or a Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x44 would be the "largest" scopes I would consider mounting on a 16" Grendel, as they are quite compact and really fit that package well if you intend to engage man-size silhouettes out to 600 or 700yds, which is where the 16" Grendel reaches its effectiveness limitations I think.
I usually default to LaRue mounts for all my AR15 and AR10 mounts, & I especially prefer the LT-112 with 20 MOA of cant built-in. It isn't cheap, but it is exactly what I have been wanting in a mount for years. I have yet to ever need the goose-neck mounts from LaRue, even with 1-4x scopes that have 4" of eye relief.
Desert Tactical Arms also makes an outstanding 1-piece scope base for 1913 rails. I really find the QD and return-to-zero features of the LaRue mounts hard to beat when it comes to optics mounting though. You don't need tools to remove and re-attach your scope once it's set up.
Check out the Tango Down bipod if you don't get a Harris. They are very well-constructed, but pricey. Are you seeing a trend here...
