No- the 7x57 was developed separately, in 1892 by Paul Mauser. The 8mm Mauser (actually the 7.92 Mauser, but every calls it the 8mm) was developed by a government board.

8mm mauser or 308 or 270 rifle which nis better?

Depends on your definition of better. All 3 are capable of taking any game found in North America. The 8mm Mauser carries a little more energy than the .308. The .308 may have an edge in accuracy. The .270 is basically the 30-06 necked down to .27 caliber, shoots flatter, due to higher velocity. This is one of those Ford/ Chevy/ Dodge discussions.

What year is mauser serial number 2082?

The Mauser serial number 2082 is not specific enough to definitively determine the year of manufacture, as Mauser produced many models over different periods. However, if this serial number refers to a specific model, such as the Mauser 98, further information about the specific markings or features would be needed to narrow down the production year. Generally, Mauser rifles from the early 20th century often have serial numbers in that range. For precise dating, consulting a collector's guide or an expert in Mauser firearms would be advisable.
