Not exactly.
While I suspect that Hans Vang could make a skeet barrel, the Skeet choked barrel is designed for a wide spread/even dispersion of small shot. The Vang barrels are designed to create a tight pattern of large pellets. The Vang should have less recoil and pellet deformation, but I am doubtful that it would give you the spread that you are looking for, unless you are accustomed to shooting skeet with a Full choke and 00 Buck.
I would get the Vang for defense and three gun matches, but would also buy the longer barrel with the skeet choke if you seriously want to shoot skeet.
Now I am curious as well. Maybe I need to get my 870 with the Vang Comped barrel out and see what the pattern is with birdshot at skeet ranges.
Just my .02, YMMV.
