I asked for one in Cyrodiil a few days back, only to have several players tell me it does not. Their reasoning is that it won't proc the damage, as it is not a melee weapon. If it does exist, it will cost a lot as it is rare.
Funny, though, how this game will drop all kinds of worthless trash, yet this bow doesn't.

But DOES it? This page (eso-sets.com) shows a picture of every armor and weapon piece - including a bow. What say you community? Does this bow exist anymore?

Not sure if you found out or just gave up, but the Bow of the Viper does not exist either (for the same reason as Ravager) unless someone still has an old BoE version from before the update.

I honestly do not understand why the so called "smart loot" is limited to certain sets. "Smart loot" is a good idea in general, but really very poor implementation. I believe everybody could bring points in this case with many many sets.
That being said, "smart loot" really should be revised since Summerset and the change of twohanded weapons giving two set bonuses. While it is true Ravager won't be procced by bow, there is this sweet weapon damage set bonus for 4 items that would be really useful sometimes... if only the bow existed.
