While there HAVE been smoothbore .22 LR firearms, they are rather rare- and are not used for shooting regular skeet. The shot they fire is too small. One of them- the Mossberg Targo- had what looked like a screw on choke- but is was actually a short section of rifled barrel to permit shooting regular .22LR lead bullets. Most shotguns used for skeet or trap will be 12 g. Visit any decent sized gun shop, and talk to the salespeople.
A skeet choke which is 5 notches
A skeet choke is a screw in tube that is inserted in the end of a barrel of a shotgun, the main thing a skeet choke does is changes the spread pattern of the shot from the shell, since its a skeet choke it will make the spread very large so that you can hit the skeet easier.

Improved cylinder or larger. Actually alot of folks do very well with a skeet gun.
Mainly the degree of choke, or constriction at the muzzle. a skeet choke is the smallest degree of constriction next to no choke at all (cylinder bore). Hunting shotguns may be full choke, modified, or some other combination. The greater the degree of constriction, the greater percentage of pellets kept in a small circle.
