Mauser 98K
This video is by Hickok45. One of my favorite youtube gun reviewers.
The Mauser 98K was chambered in 8mm, or 7.92x57mm to be more exact. However, it is generally referred to as just 8mm Mauser. It is a 5 shot bolt action rifle that was usually fed with stripper clips.
This was the primary battle rifle for Nazi Germany. It had an effective range of up to 800 meters although with iron sights this was limited to closer to 500 meters.
There are many other Mauser variants out there, in a variety of calibers (although 8mm is a very common caliber for many Mauser variations).
