Ranged Crossbow. Has a +10 BtH lean and no special-special, and deals *1.1 damage to compensate.

The toggle costs 50% melee as SP, i.e. 196 SP per turn (lvl 150) to potentially double the poison power and triple its duration. Because of this toggle, Sneakbore Crossbow is one of the best Earth options for 100-proc rangers that do not use Meduso Bow.

Harm
Steampunk Love Bow
A pure 100-proc Ranged Harm weapon, the advantages of this weapon over the Royal Voidrender are the lack of an upkeep cost, and its synergy with the Bow Master's Emblem. Unfortunately, it costs a rare golden giftbox, is not always available, and dedicates an entire weapon slot to 1 element, which can make it harder to fit your standard 8 elements into the remaining 6 slots (since another slot is taken by your no-drop, which has no 100-proc Ranged options at this point in time).
Location: Valencia -> Golden Giftboxes -> Rare Shop Rare (May return next February during the GGB Extravaganza)

Royal Voidrender
Can toggle between Melee/Ranged as well as Energy/Harm damage. In Ranged mode, it's a 100-proc with no true special. It has a +10 BtH lean in all modes. If you toggle it to Ranged Harm mode, it costs 39 SP per turn, which can make it tough to sustain alongside a guest in a prolonged battle.
