Military Barrel Identification Help

Please help me identify this barrel. Marked on the underside is a (german) eagle along with 3 other markings that I cannot identify. Near the breech threads it is marked 7,9x (I cannot make out the last #). There is a marking on the underside that looks like "BU 179 S" and the serial # is 7162. The long range site is set for up to 2000 meters(?). It measures 29 inches in length. A .35 remington cartridge fits perfectly in the breech. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Addendum: I forgot to mention it is 8x57 Mauser. Nominal diameter is 7.9mm and it uses the .323 bullet.
