Heavily-armed tactical operations unit (TOU) officers, backed by their $400,000 BearCat, raided the Rebels clubhouse at Minchinbury three hours after the 34-year-old was shot.
He was shot in the upper thigh and torso and was reportedly found face down outside the clubhouse at 8.30pm.
The man also suffered a broken nose and head injuries. He was taken to Westmead Hospital in a serious but stable condition at 9pm.
Police confirmed the shooting was bikie related. There were unconfirmed reports the man was shot near the clubhouse and dragged down the street.
The TOU arrived at 11pm in several 4WDS, along with dogs and petrol-powered bolt cutters.
Police used a megaphone and asked the bikies to “come out of the unit”.
A police spokeswoman said last night there was no siege.
The shooting is close to where teenager Hayden Burnes was stabbed to death in 2011.
