I've got 15 to 20 guns chambered in this caliber, and prices vary from $60 to $30,000+. BTW, there are at LEAST a few hundred variants of the bolt-action mauser alone. The persian contract ones are beautiful.
If you can post a pic of the gun overall and one of the top of the receiver, I can tell you what you've got.

Well considering the context, he probably means a firearm made by Mauser, chambered in 8mm Mauser. That should narrow it down quite a bit more.  (most likely a K98)
